As seen on a number of different fansites we've opened a public area in our bugs database to help players give us feedback. Signup and login at http://www.eis-list.de/bug2/ and visit http://www.eis-list.de/documentation.htm to read how to use the database.
Players on low-bandwidth connections will be pleased to here a split version of the mod is almost ready for release. The release will be in fours parts and should be available very soon.
The latest internal beta went on test this week with a number of bug fixes and tweaks to the damage system. Progress has been greatly aided by the many players who have taken time to and bugs to the database or discuss any issues they are having with the team. Many thanks to all, keep your comments coming!

The Great BattleGroup42 Skinning Hunt!

The BG42 team are looking for new skinners and not just anyone. Our modelers are producing some fantastic work and we would like to compliment their models with the best skins the community has to offer! We need two people, one to skin our latest land vehicles and the other our new aircraft. Everyone out there is welcome to apply armed with evidence of your undoubted genius. What's more, if we are stunned and amazed by the response, we may take on more than 2 people. There is certainly enough great stuff to skin!
If you think you can rise to the challenge then please email me at .
