Alpha 03 — The game gets a name and a split-screen view

The project got its name in Alpha 03 — Throw Weight: Fleet Doctrine — along with a split-screen tactical view that shows both fleets simultaneously instead of making you pick one to watch. The main menu was also brought in line with the strategic mode styling.

Editor’s note: the game is now called Throw Weight: Strategic Command. These notes are preserved as originally written.

Install note: You will need both the .exe and the .pck files downloaded!
