1.29 is set to go live today. There is certainly a lot in this patch and we hope you'll enjoy the new planes and new features. We've graduated all of our current players from training but you might want to take a look at it sometime by selecting the TRAINING tab on the BRIGADE screen. For 1.30 we're going to spend a lot of effort expanding this area and your feedback is greatly appreciated.

Amongst all of the new things in 1.29, including a new Spitfire and 109, there are some important changes to the game we would like to highlight. The new Training system has a major impact on the way new players are introduced to the game (but existing players can try it as well). The Quick Help system also helps describe the user interface for new players. The changes to default keymaps is a 'Must Know' for existing players, as are the new No Joystick keymaps and the changes to where your game preferences are saved. 
As everyone knows the long-awaited update to Battleground Europe has been in open testing for several weeks and with the help of the player community, the testing was nearing completion- until today. The number of test "tickets" for the production team to work on prior to final release of v1.29 is approaching zero but one issue has been a constant concern in the past weeks- performance.
Well the day has arrived! We will be bringing the servers down at 12:00 noon (1800GMT) to patch the host and get your downloads in gear. This will be a big downtime because we have to reconfigure all the server side mods we performed to allow for the reversed campaign map and the decoupled RDP process. Resetting to a new campaign would be a lot easier, but we don't want to kill this one as so many players are having a great time with it, so it will continue after we bring the servers back up and the new patch is now the live game.
