Appears I can no longer use a Fighter for the "shift" + another unit.

This done on purpose?

Yes there was an exploit addressed, relating to moves using air units, e.g. swapping with ground units to get the latter into an otherwise impossible position.

Below are all the changes regarding air units with the latest patch:

- Rebasing an air unit lowers its spotting range in half, and rebased air units can no longer swap with an adjacent unit (Elessar2, Duedman).
- Air units in fog/rain, snow or sandstorm weather will now have their spotting range reduced to 1 hex (Lothos).
- Air units that attack a unit in fog/rain, snow or sandstorm weather will no longer de-entrench.

Gotcha.

The spotting and no de-trench in lousy weather is legit.

Will need to get used to, the "toggle with land trick", was very, very helpful.

It was a bit of an exploit but I have grown fond of it

Agree. Though no technically graceful, made the game more interesting for combo moves.
gonna take time getting used too.
