Major bug in v15914;

The Soviets can't purchase anything other than conscript and artillery.

The other nations also can't purchase battleships for an unknown reason.

@Schulz
This is a known problem with look and feel, change to Nimbus or Metal to make it go away.

Another bug in v15914;

I had given a +1 attack bonus to fighters against surface ships, which used to work, but now it doesn't.

@Schulz I'm seeing two things that may or may not matter: you need to test them.

1. I think that no support attachment should have the same name as an other support attachment, not even if attached to different units (but I'm not sure in case of different attached units).
2. I think that those supports (if working) are giving +1 defence to the fighter (not +1 offence) because they are given by offending units. (You need to change the "side" to "defence" to support attacking fighters or to "offence:defence" to support attacking or defending fighters.)

[Schulz]

@Cernel Thanks, I changed "side" to "defense" and now it works perfectly again.

Support attachments don't necessarily need to have different names for each of them.

Does it? I assumed it had to be "defence".

@Cernel Oops, it was a typo. It's "defence".
