Congrats on the successful funding! That’s no small feat, especially in the board game world. Looking forward to seeing more details on Song for War when you get the chance to share. Always interesting to see how different designers approach WWII mechanics, especially in the Med Theater, which doesn’t get as much focus. Good luck with the production phase, it sounds like quite the ride.

Check out the fall booster pack trailer. Looks pretty sweet.
-
I’ll have to check that out later. Didn’t know there was a booster pack, but heard about some mods that sounded nice. Although I’ve been bad and have not played this for over a month…(Company of Heroes, Savage, emulators, etc.)
-
I can’t tell what’s new.
It looks like a new map or two, plus a Bren gun carrier for the soviets?
-
I checked the details of the booster pack (it was available Nov. 1), and it’s more like their typical patch. Actually, it has a little bit more in it (it’s a fair sized patch with the content, just a lot of it you won’t notice) than usual, but they make it sound like it’s an add-on or something:
Danzig is back: a completely rebuilt and reconstructed version of the famous mod map, with greatly enhanced graphics and gameplay
*
The much-requested Panzer IV H
*
The Universal Carrier
*
Support for the Logitech G15 keyboard
*
ROTV game spectating and “shoutcasting” functionality added
*
Engine enhancements to give much greater view distances
*
New skins for many tanksThere are a load more tweaks and fixes listed in the full log - so go and take a look!
I’m going to download it tonight and try it out.

So is it any good? Tell us the details!!

Ok, I got to play the new map, Danzig. It was nice, but damn I’m rusty. :lol: Actually, didn’t too bad but everything felt fairly foreign.
It’s a small-medium sized map. Street fighting (no vehicles). The Axis defend 4 points, with the first 2 (bridge crossings in parallel - pretty cool) being uncappable once the Russkies take them. The last two are staggered in position, and can be captured & recaptured by either team. High intensity game.
Seems to run a bit better as well, but that’s all I saw for now. Going to try to get a game with the Russian APC!

Red Orchestra is going to be free again for this weekend. Time to preload. I cant wait to use the T-34/85 again. :-D
-
I saw that, but haven’t been playing much the past couple months…maybe more. Playing a game called Savage that is free and pretty fun.

What are your guy’s ingame names?

Same handle as on here. Let me know if you ever get into a game, and I’ll try and hook up. haven’t been playing much lately, though…
