There is now a Local Multiplayer game mode available. Play the game with your friend, passing the device between players at the end of the turn. Currently first four scenarios have been adjusted to support multiplayer (for two players at the moment, with AI controlling minor factions), rest of the maps are also being converted to multiplayer-capable.
Also this release contains a fix for scenario 6 (Adriatic Coast) which had become extremely difficult to complete. Now scenario 6 can be played with about the same difficulty as other scenarios.
