A Battlegroup42 Christmas Present!
Battlegroup42 is pleased to announce that its 1.1 release will be out this Wednesday, just in time for Xmas!
We have listened to our many fans and as well as providing new telegram number list maps and other content we have made significant changes to our 6 class system. In particular we have rebalanced the classes with changes to the anti-tank rifles, AT grenades, deployable MGs, bayonets and shotguns.
The full list of changes is given below along with some screenshots of the new Japanese AT grenade and the TO-34 on Berlin Streets - plus the Omaha Day 1 map, including the LCT.
5 New Maps
Omaha Day 1 (with bot support)
Paderborn (with bot support)

New Content
