New balanced Carentan scenario for Premium players

February 12th, 2010

Hello Officers,

you wished we would balance Carentan & we just released a new, balanced Carentan scenario for Premium players – now Allied have fewer players positions and Axis have some unit changes, so match should be more even.

Let us know what you think.

New version released

January 22nd, 2010

Officers,

we are pleased to announce that yet another new version has been launched.
Updates include:
- When choosing side, the amount of players logged to each side is now shown correctly
- Own troops shown on minimap
- Improved Graphical User Interface, especially unit hover tooltips and stacks
- Coordinates graphics changed for better readability
- Movement: albeit units still move very slowly across flooded fields (swamps), now they move
- Revised scenario maps
- Accurate terrain data
- Howitzers can now shoot direct fire
- New weapons and vehicles for both Allied / Axis
- Minor tweaks for previous weapons and vehicles
- Revised TOE and OOB for all scenarios
- Better day/night visualization
- Downgraded 4.2inch mortar

Then the bad news:
We are having some trouble with some of the scenarios due to changes to terrain data etc., and are fixing them as fast as possible. Until then we have Carentan, Windsor, Martlet and Jupiter online.

Hope you enjoy, log in and play now!

New version released, and a new scenario: Martlet

January 14th, 2010

Hi,

yesterday we released a new version of the game.
Both free and Premium members got a new scenario to play, Operation Martlet. There are 2 instances on free side, 1 instance on Premium side. Operation Martlet is a small & fun scenario, where allied UK forces go against Germans – go play it now :)
Wikipedia link for Martlet

We did a lot of bug fixes & other changes, including:
- Removing infinite autofire because it caused problems. Now units fire for 1 tick/turn only. Working on a better solution
- Own units that are out of action are shown in the place they got dispersed. They have K.I.A markers, which we will change, as only 10-20% of manpower is actually dead, rest are wounded or severely shaken and the unit is dispersed.
- Units that are dispersed should no longer show any manpower
- UnitObservations now update when icon type is changed in the settings

Enjoy the game & let us know what you think of the new version :)

P.S And if you don’t have Premium account yet, for only € 4.99 (ca. $7) you get:
- Choose Allied or Axis side and pick the best unit
- Exclusive scenarios like Perch, Jupiter, Windsor, Hill262 – UK, Canadian, Polish, German forces
- Player statistics tracking all your victories, defeats, casualties caused, and more!
- More cool stuff to come
buy one now!
