Good day fans of Mud and Blood and welcome to this new update.
This update took few more days than intended but adds a significant amount of new elements to our favourite brutality simulator. Notably a handful of German vehicles and guns. It also shapes the terrain in front of the player in a better fashion offering distinctive variance in the tactical scenarios.
One cool feature is that when a road is behind your squad it is considered "liberated" and allied vehicles can be seen driving on it. If they see enemies while crossing your AO, they will temporarily stop and help your squad.

Terrain generation will need a fair amount of polish to be where I want it to be. However, this is very fun to play currently since the battlefield offers a neat variation between areas. Either the claustrophobic dark forests of Hürtgen or ruined landscapes of St-Lo.
Next, I would like next to finish the player ranking system and ribbons while adding few more units on each side. Also steam has released a playtest option for the creators which looks very promising. Maybe it would be worth exploring that option in the near future.
I hope you guys are staying safe out there and we will see you next week.
respectfully,
