The French Week

The map contest is over. 23 maps have been sent in. We would like to thank everyone who participated. At the moment we are looking into the maps and rating them. That takes some time, especially while we are trying to finalize the patch, but, apart from that we will do our very best to bring the official Fan Map Pack #2 out to you ASAP. Stay tuned to get more information about Fan Map Pack #2 soon, as well as a declaration of the winner of the contest.

As announced in the last news update we have something special for you today. Contrary to rumor it is not the release date announcement or the Panzer III, but we think you will like it anyway!

With today's update we are finally introducing the French army to the mod with lots of hot stuff. Every army needs good equipment there is much finished work to show! First of all we would like to present our French armor. We have the CharB1 done by Montoya and the Somua S35 modeled by Lude and skinned by Montoya. Perhaps with these, you can reverse the verdict of history and shatter the Axis armored spearheads.
 

   

The Laffly 15t APC and the Lorraine 37L Hauler both created by Montoya will transport reinforcements into the field.

   

Artillery and air support will be provided by the SA37 AT gun and the Morane Saulnier 406 -- both made by Montoya..

   

And for the infantry, here are some new toys, as well. We have the MAS 38 SMG designed by Djagg and McGibs. And last but not least the French grenade Mòdele 1937 that was done by McGibs.

   

You will get the chance to field-test this equipment on a map called Counterattack that takes place in the year 1940 in the fields of eastern France. The map was made by Armin Ace and depicts a first attempt of British and French troops to take the offensive against the advancing German forces.
