Hello everyone,
New Trailer - Summer Updates
This new trailer summarizes all the previous French Content that was released and the new, secret weapons content that this update contains. Give it a watch and be sure to share it with all your friends! It's a great way to catch up on what's new in Brass Brigade since the spring.
Secret Weapons
Your mission, should you accept it, will take you to deep behind enemy lines in the secret side of warfare. Today's new update is not based on any particular battle or skirmish. Rather, it is inspired by the clandestine operations of WW2 alongside other classic WW2 games. It is an amalgamation of special weapons, equipment, and scenery that would normally be found in the hands of special commando units and special divisions. Let's take a tour of these codeword-classified assets.
New Map - Norway
Welcome to a sleepy, wintery town in [CLASSIFIED], Norway. British Commandos will be attacking a series of German installations in the dead of night in an attempt to capture key German super weapons. The Commandos will first need to assault a German airfield, work their way to a V2 Launch Site, and ultimately to a U-Boat pen. Dense foliage, snow, and low light make visibility a bit more difficult. Engagement distances vary from long range (in the forests and airfield) to CQB (inside the U-Boat pen).
This may be just about the most difficult mission for Allied forces available. Strong German defenses, strategically placed artillery guns, and new weapons will make the assault a difficult proposition.
New Weapons & Variants
Such a daring assault calls for specialized weapons. The British Commandos have swapped their standard No. 4's for silenced De Lisle Carbines. Their Sten submachine guns have also been fitted with suppressors and modified with a slightly increased rate of fire. New experimental suppressed .45 caliber sidearms and borrowed OSS suppressed M3s also make an appearance for some of the troops. But the firepower doesn't end there - new impact grenades have been deployed to select troops to help them clear out nearby infantry. But be careful - if you drop one near you, you'll have no time to run before it goes off!
The German Army has a few modified weapons of their own to counter the Commando threat. A scoped StG44 and scoped G43 will make picking off Commandos a bit easier at range. However, once the Commandos get in close, the Germans might find themselves at a bit of a loss...
V2 Rocket Special Ability
German scientists have been hard at work developing some of the most sophisticated rocket technology known to man. Despite the early speedbumps during the development of the V1 Rocket, the V2 rocket is now available to German Shock Troopers in the new Brandenburg faction. Simply point at the location you wish to call in your rocket and press the special ability key. Green smoke indicates where the V2 rocket will head to. You'll want to be very far away from that green smoke if you want to survive the massive blast that follows impact. As destructive and lethal as the V2 is, troops will have to be careful on the field, as it takes a full minute to recharge in between uses - the longest cool-down of any special equipment.
The Future
I have another map in the pipeline that I hope to bring you soon. This November 22nd will mark one full year of post-launch Brass Brigade support (and almost 3 years of total development time). The game has grown so much and covered many iconic parts of WW2 that it didn't on launch day, and I hope everyone has enjoyed all the additional content.
Until next time,
Henry Kucab
