1.28.5 had a great roll-out last weekend, and
the reviews have deemed it a successful upgrade
to the game. Log in and spend some time this
week seeing what the hoopla is all about.

CAMPAIGN
#45 UNDER WAY!
1.28.5
introduced a radical new addition to Battleground
Europe: Differentiated Army Brigades. Each Division
is now comprised of 2 Infantry focused Brigades
and 1 Armored focused Brigade.
"We
have thought long and hard here inside CRS HQ,
and argued more than a little over the subject
... but due to the overwhelmingly positive feedback
over differentiated army brigades that we trialled
in the latter stages of the extended intermission
... we have decided to (roll drums and fanfare)
GO WITH THEM FOR THIS CAMPAIGN!" - DOC
Players
have expressed their eagerness to see how this
new development unfolds. While it might be a
bit bumpy at first, the road to victory in Battleground
Europe just got a whole lot more interesting!
Join the discussion on differentiated brigades
in the Follow-up
Forum.

PAYPAL
BILLING ISSUE
We are experiencing a problem with getting accounts
using PayPal properly credited with game access
time automatically. This also includes T-shirt
orders.
We
are beginning to manually process completed
transactions as quickly as we can.
It
might take a couple of days to fully resolve
this, i.e., return to a fully automated process.
Please bear with us.

SQUAD
PROFILE
Looking
for a squad to play with? Check out this weeks
"Squad Profile" to see if they're
right for you!
Royal Green Jackets
www.royaljackets.com
Allied
CO:Iron13
XO: Fearny, Dubane, Wolfv, Ironnite, Paul01,
Malikai, Z00k, hanrac
Number of active players: Around 100
Base of Operations: 24hrs, Mainly US and UK
players but we have aussies, Germans and more.
Mission Statement:
Why is it that one squad can go on an attack
and be easily defeated and the RGJ shows up
and consistently lay waste the enemy? There
are many reasons. We have no ego. We are as
one. We know our duties. Confusion is not present
in the RGJ even in the most intense battle!
Gaming Philosophy:
It means never having to worry about learning
about the game. We help new members. It means
fighting as a team and never alone.
It means you are playing with like minded fun
loving people who have your best interest at
heart. It means training and being the best.
It means fighting with precision and purpose.
Above all it means having a good time with close
friends.

MAILBAG
with GOPHUR
I was wondering why a sniper has no
sidearm but a anti-tank rifleman does. Would
it be possible to give the snipers a pistol,
or regular grenades. I think with a sniper,
the whole point is to be stealthy.
-Rick56
The rationale is that a sniper is the undisputed
deadliest long range infantry killer in the
game. The balance for that is that he has very
little close combat capability. We might revisit
this loadout in the future if we have some significant
game play changes but for now I think the balance
is just about right.
What are the possibilities of making
a sentry soldier with german shepherd? I believe
this would help stop moles and lone cappers
and slowly do away with AI. What do ya'll think?
-LockDown
Well, I asked GRANIK what he thought about putting
a dog in the game and he mumbled something about
we can't have a pet class when we don't even
have a healer. So I asked TOTO if he wanted
to model and animate a German Shepherd. After
his rolling laughter had subsided but before
his extra wide grin and smiling eyes had subsided
he chortled, "Are you serious?". Personally,
I thought it was a perfectly legitimate question.
Maybe I'll have to rephrase the question.
