- Update notes for 3rd of April 2023 - 3 April 2023
Deployed hotfix
- Letters from the Front 3 - 30 March 2023
Dear Bartalamey, Home! We are finally coming home! The Soviet high command has signed a peace treaty with the United States and a cease-fire with the German contingency. The Americans have been kind to us, they leased some of their armored personnel carriers to us so we can pull back from the front-lines. So far our retreat from the front-line has been smooth, both sides seem to hold to their end of the deal. With the speed we are going, I might be back home in just a few weeks. I might be home before this letter even arrives. I cannot wait to drink with you soon and tell you all that I have witnessed! I wonder though, will the treaties last? Update from the Developers Spent the last week determining next steps post Kickstarter and weighing all options Laying out map and obstacles for first playable and testing concepts in UE Scripting options for migrating existing/comparable HnG playe…
- Letters from the Front 2 - 14 March 2023
Dear Ludwig, We entered these foreign lands only a few days ago, I don’t even know which country we’re in anymore. We can hear some gun sounds in the far distance, we have not seen any action just yet. We have set up camp at the foot of a mountain, just next to a small town. According to command, the Allied forces have a camp of their own nearby. This village has little tactical importance and both the enemy and our own forces are small in numbers. Making it the perfect area to hold a little demonstration. We have received some fresh looking weapons in need of testing on a real battlefield. Let’s hope they perform as well as promised. Or better yet, I hope we don’t have to use them at all. Update from the Developers Mapping demo level while developing early prototypes supporting design intentions Identify player base feedback from Discord and Kickstarter comments Actively meeting on wha…
- Letters from the Front 1 - 3 March 2023
Dear Ozzie, Thank you for your correspondence, I am glad to hear everyone is doing well back home. So the factories have started working on new engines? That is great to hear, hopefully those beasts will help with our performance on the front. So far all is quiet out here, our general has positioned us in a small mountain pass. There is an abandoned village nearby. We found some good supplies they had left behind, the bicycles are in decent shape and make moving around much easier. Don’t use up any gas either! Yesterday we went on a scouting mission in the mountains. I managed to take a picture of the valley next to our camp. It sure is beautiful here. Staying so far from the active fronts, where we can’t even hear the explosions anymore, it almost makes you forget there is a war going on. Tomorrow we will go on another scouting mission just north of the town, let’s hope the Germans don…

- Deep Dive: Chat Moderation - 1 December 2022
Soldiers! The next season is coming up and with that a brand new feature. Starting the release of Season 3, we will have a team of voluntary chat moderators who will help keep the chats civil and clean. Find out who they are, what they do and what it means for you! Why Moderators? Our support team received quite a few reports of players being rude or using very foul words toward other users. We want players to have fun and play in a friendly atmosphere. Now this is a war game and we do not ask players to completely stop using foul language. But we do want to find a middle ground, where people can speak their minds while at the same time keeping an atmosphere everyone feels comfortable in. Can they ban me? I think this is the main question many people are asking: Does a moderator have the ability to ban a player? The answer is very simple, NO. Chat moderators cannot ban players from play…
