I'm ready, willing, and able!

What exactly are you looking for? Just people to play it and report on bugs? Or do you want those who will take an active part in actual programming and modding?

Play testing, bug hunting and suggestions.

No, you don't need to code, program or otherwise, though if there's an awesome graphic you want included I'm happy to oblige.

Already a new release?
Well I want to playtest it .

I think I've got some more WW2 units stashed around somewhere, if you want those... glad to hear an update is in the works!

I really like the Road To War mod - I think it's the best WWIImod so far -, so...

PS: Anything planned or in the work yet?

I'm just testing the additional combat concepts I've added from DCM to RtW (like opp fire, active defense, updated airbombing, etc).

Done a few tweaks too:
- US unit tweaks
- AI tweaks (less concentration on naval forces)
- AI appears more aggressive (Germany actually beats Poland in 39 and gets Vichy event in 40 now)
- AI appears to be using paratroopers better (I even saw Germany do a reverse Market Garden through the Lowlands!)

That's just a start.

Cool! Can't wait to playtest some!

I would be happy to play test it!

I should be able to upload the first beta either tomorrow night or the night after (my time of course).

Just ping me when it's available

Okay folks, the first beta of v1.2 is uploaded and ready to test.

See the first post for details.

Have fun!

DLed and ready to go. "I'll be back."

Also downloading! The pack takes some time to get.

Copying the maps into the Public Maps folder I noticed something odd: some of the maps are older than the ones I already have.

Don't know what's happened there, but I can confirm to all maps are the same as the add-on maps.

How far apart are the dates?
