New Update 0.3:

It is a rather small update, due to different modding involvements I did not have that much time to add everything I had planned, but I decided I may as well release what I have. If there are any problems, I will keep the old download up

Changelog:
-some basic animation changes
-loading screens
-new flak gun unit
-new flamethrower unit (based on TGW)
-new music added
-some other general changes
-a new "installer"

As always, any comments and suggestions are appreciated, and I hope you enjoy. Work on the next update will begin shortly, and more info on its contents in the near future.

Download

Note: There are installation instructions included in the readme in case the installer doesn't work

Well, suggestions for units and such are always welcome.

Tomorrow, I'll upload a few screenshots for those who want to see how this is before the download.

Ahhh! You're reading my mind! This is gladly appreciated, thank you very much! =)

Nice progress. +rep for the team.

[Darkhorse]

Just would like to thank everyone for the rep they have given. Leave your names and I'll rep you back.

I'm working on an Italian roster while I do the British, any Italian unit and tech ideas would be great.

[The Vengur]

more semi-elite units would be a good idea, Fallschirmjägers and airbornes as anti infantry with better accuracy and higher rate of fire, rangers and panzergrenadiers as assault infantry armed with grenades and smg's might also work.

What do you think of my unit idea?

[Admiral Van Tromp]

What do you think of my unit idea?

It'll probably be implemented when we work on Sweden, but that will be done only for our European Campaigns. So, if you could provide us with more Swedish info after the release of Sandstorm, it'd be awesome. (I'd rep you but I already did and they don't let me, so after I spread some, i'll give you).

@le vengur:

Those are good ideas, but for main factions we already have a resident researcher that has the thing covered. If you could help us with research on a minor of your choice, it'd be more useful. Nevertheless, +rep.

Those screenies are coming people...

[Admiral Van Tromp]

Ok, the screenshots are here. It's my first attempt on doing it, so don't be to harsh.

Enjoy!

First, you have the Sandstorm Campaign Faction Selection until now. (I know, the names are the old ones, I will do the right ones ASAP. And the Syrian flag is still the old Ottoman one, also being worked on). The map is also to be replaced.

The others were taken during a Soviet Union vs. Germany battle on the Dresden map.

I don't know taht much about Sweden during WWII but I can tell what I knows. Sweden gave the germans acces to travel trough swedish territory to get from Denmark to Norway. Sweden had the same govument as it has today(Consentsual monarchy) and the king whas Gustav V(1907-1950). My grandma has also teld a bit about her childhood but I forgot what she said. Atleast she said that it even if it whas bad whas it worse in the countires wich whas at war.

Good info, keep it coming, we may create research section on the OP. This would also be valuable for TGW, though, as if I understood it correctly, the ship was also available for WW1. Or am I wrong.

both ships also served during ww1 but the sverige had a different armament during that war

[Admiral Van Tromp]

Understood le vengur.

The swedish ship will be a recruitable unit for Sweden and the Norwegian one will be used as a recruitable unit for GB (representing the Norwegian resistance) during the occupation of the country by the Germans. . But it will also be recruitable for Norway.

That is during the European Campaigns.
