[zakblood]

a very under rated a for me one of the better ones out, just didn't get the buyers that imo it should have, which is a shame as support from this dev is second to none and beats most AAA titles hands down

as shown by the support from his previous game

http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tt.asp?forumid=1239

Germany at War: Barbarossa 1941

still being updated and having more maps and mods and new campaigns many years after release, so you can't wish or hope for more from the dev with these, pure gold imo

[Asid]

Agreed. That is why I try and keep this thread updated
