New uniforms & reworks
We manage to start a new reowkr on various uniforms to improve the overall quality of the game.
We just released the rework for US Infantry, US Military Police and Japanese SNLF Uniforms, however uniforms for almost every country will be reworked during next weeks.
The rework doesn't just include better looking models but they also feature a particular attention to the historical details.
We also plan to add a lot of new uniforms soon featuring the same style and attention to details.
Here you can see some in game reworked uniforms, and a new D-Day infantry uniform coming soon, but this is just a tiny look to a quite big rework that is involving more than 30 uniforms and vests at the moment.
Poll about future campaigns
We recently run a poll about future campaigns, and apparently North Africa (we will see what campaigns specifically soon) is what most players would like to see next, so we will start working into this free campaign very soon!
However Kos rework still has priority and works on the new campaign will not start before we finish the current rework, probably in 2-3 months.
Ardennes 1940 & 1944
We recently released the new DLC, which inlcudes 2 new campaigns: Early war France invasion and late war Battle of the bulge!
The campaigns consists on 13 new missions, 2 new maps, and a lot of new game content including French faction, new weapons, new uniforms, new vehicles and many new mission editor props!
You can finally get the new campaign here:

Xbox release
We unfortunatly we also have some dalays for Xbox version too, the game will be available hopefully this or next month on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. We will try to include some of the mentioned uniforms reworks in the Xbox version to apologize for the delays!
