UPDATE: PLEASE DOWNLOAD THE V1.31.0.29 INSTALLER FOR THE FOCUS TEST! Our second week of Beta focus testing started out a bit rough, but we ended up having a great combined arms battle last night. It was broken into 2 sessions, the first centering around Tienen, which was designated a no-mans land that was under contention. The second half was a pitched battle in Roermond, dozens of tanks scrapping it out while the Allied infantry tried to cap the Axis bunker. It was great fun, the server was stable and fewer bugs were found than in previous tests. PLEASE BE SURE TO COMPLETE THE INFANTRY SURVEY! WE NEED YOUR INPUT.
UPDATE! v1.31.0.27 is needed for today's focus testing session. Download it now! Due to a small brain hiccup, a hot patch will download via Playgate today before testing (small, wee...miniscule even!). Today's test will be a repeat of Rolling Thunder broken into 2 sessions: 6 - 8pm, reset the server and then 8 - 10pm. In between sessions, we'll be booting everybody off to reset so you'll have to log back in.
How many of you have seen the phrases “Follow the ant trail” or “Don’t follow the ant trail”? I know I have but it’s often forgotten in your rush to get to forward base, flag building or tank. I often see /reports about “he has an invisible bush bug” or “he must be spying because he found our MS”. Well, consider how you and others are approaching a target as a reason you and your buddies are dying and being discovered so quickly.

With the addition of the "cloning" feature to v1.31, the ability to stage amazing new screen shots has been made so much easier. Some players have already created a thread in the Barracks so we thought we'd start an official contest and add some spiffy new scenes to our media section. Past contests have produced some pretty awesome shots, we're excited to see what you guys can do with the 1.31 stuff! Look for a movie contest later on.
POINTS FOR TRUCKERS?Monday, 08 March 2010"I have been playing this game for about a week, and I LOVE driving the HT...But, being a noob this is a bad way to rank up as I have found out. I don't get points for towing, I don't get points for resupplying, and as I am in a Halftrack and cannot MSP, I don't get points for spawning infantry. Could it be possible to give points for giving ammo and towing guns? Even if it is just one point per resupply or per tow?" Read the Answer
