RAT CHAT - SUNDAY 4/28/19
The "Rat Chat" is where the community gets to speak live and directly to the Cornered Rats, the developers of WWII Online.This is always a great opportunity to learn about what's happening and get answers to your questions. One pro tip: We've found the best Rat Chats can be had when community members come prepared with their best questions in hand, so think if you had only ONE important question to ask, what would it be? We look forward to answering it!
Currently this is our guide post for the things we are working on, WWII Online Development Roadmap.

WELCOME BACK SOLDIER
It has been awhile since we've done a Welcome Back Soldier, and we can't wait to bring more players into the game very soon! Starting May 1st 2019 all veteran and free play accounts (organic and STEAM!) will be unlocked and receive full premium access to the live campaign of WWII Online. This will last multiple weeks as we expect every game owner to try back the game.
Definitely start to get the word out on this one and get people prepared, both returning and new. It'll be the best time to play WWII Online with all access and the new Hybrid Supply setup available. More AO's, more supply everywhere and lots of big battles to follow.
BONDPAUL: ALLIED COMMANDER IN CHIEF REPORT
Mini-Campaign (1.36) is coming to an end and I want to thank each and everyone of you who helped in making sure that any bugs were found, reported, and addressed by the game code-writers. Your efforts ensures that our next “Official” Campaign will be a technically flawless as it is possible.
I also want to recognize all you Allied die-hard players. Your knowledge of all Allied weapons actually assist us all better. You know how the infantry weapons, tanks, ships, fighters, bombers and even transport planes should work and you would be the first one’s who would notice something odd, and this again helps us all.
The Allied Executive High Command Officers have been working together to better serve your needs in the up-coming Campaign. Our plans are to work very closely with all organized Squads to formulate action plans to assist in better tactics and teamwork that will lead to Allied Victories.
We will recognize all players whenever their actions show true Teamwork, initiative, esprit-de-corps, while in game, through our Awards Program and post your Name and Award in the Forums on a weekly basis.
Allied High Command needs new officers, with new ideas, opinions and leadership qualities, and I ask you to join and lead us into the future with this new version of the game.
Allies, lets work together in the up-coming Campaign, Teamwork is key!
Respectfully,
BondPaul, Allied Commander in Chief
REDLEGS: AXIS DEPUTY CHIEF OF STAFF REPORT
Campaign 162 rages on and the Axis War Machine continues to grind westward! The past week has seen some fantastic battles as we continue to stress-test 1.36 to the max with large-scale coordination amongst officers, squads, and players. Overall, Axis gains were most plentiful and lasting in the South, in towns like Grandpre and Ste. Menehould. Further north, both sides have been putting up strong fronts, with gains like Haybes and Vireaux for Axis along the Meuse, and a few losses to the Allies in Feschaux and Ciney.
Overall, the new garrison system brought forth in 1.36 has created some fun battles in scales we haven’t seen in some time. One of the best of the week was the assault on Brussels on 4/20, which began with a magnificent setup and textbook tactics to gain the foothold in Brussels Northeast while booting the air brigade. Special shout-out to Eyeshank, Normal2, Potthead, and other officers for exemplary leadership here, along with Duglas, Stonney, and many more from the playerbase who executed the capture almost flawlessly! Two other sections of Brussels would fall as the day went on, but the Allies stood fast and repelled our forces over the next 24 hours, providing some fun battles throughout.
The primary goal is to continue pressing westward along the line and creating fun battles! Both sides are giving their all as we look for new ways to gain a tactical advantage within the new garrison system. All players are reminded and encouraged to report any bugs in game using the .bug tool, as well as posting to the respective thread in the forums.
S!
