Thank you, to all those who believed in this project and who supported me, I think particularly of my family and my friends.

Release: The New Maps
Hello and welcome to this new article. Today, we are going to present you the 4 new maps.
Noviny :
Number of players: 2.
Size: 150x150.
Number of strategic points: 3.
Type of vehicles: Jeep, Buggy, Truck, Armoured Support.
After the defeat of the Russians in the north of the country, a Russian armoured column breaks through the Lithuanian lines in a small farm. Playable in 2 players, Noviny offers a colourful map, with farm facilities in the centre surrounded by green pastures and wooded areas offering plenty of cover.
Mishkawka :
Number of players: 4.
Size: 170x170.
Number of strategic points: 5.
Type of vehicles: Jeep, Armoured Support, Light Tank, Tank.
Mishkawka is the last stand of the Russian tanks which inflicted heavy losses on the French troops. Entrenched in a small group of houses in the countryside. They decided to make a front to allow the Russian army to reach the border.
Mishkawka offers a large no man's land in the centre of the map, in its centre, the strategic point which will give access to the battle tank. Lined with trees and houses with lots of cover. Mishkawka offers interesting possibilities for larger battles.
Pahost :
Number of players: 4.
Size: 120x200.
Number of strategic points: 5.
Type of vehicles: Jeep, Buggy, Armoured Transport, Light Tank.
Pahost is the location of the first encounter between the French and the Russian armoured column. The Russians arrive by surprise at the rear of the French lines and silence them, thus relieving the pressure on the Russian defences.
Pahost is cut lengthways by the highway and widthways by a supermarket and a network of silos. Pahost offers a rich vehicle combat and many shortcuts for the infantry with a play on the heights offering beautiful strategic perspectives.
Naliboki Forest :
Number of players: 4.
Size: 170x170.
Number of strategic points: 5.
Type of vehicles : Jeep, Armoured Transport, Tank.
After a helicopter crash in the Belarusian mountains, rescue searches is remotely commanded by a promising new officer. A Russian commando is assigned to eliminate him.
Naliboki Forest, named after the place that inspires it, is set in the large protected forest of Naliboki in Belarus. A vast space where a great diversity of animals and plants live. Naliboki Forest is symmetrical for all 4 players and requires a passage through the centre. Battles will rage for the control of the centre of the map, as there you will find interesting vehicles and resources.
These new maps are available in both the NATO and UK campaigns, as well as in skirmish mode.
Release: The New Units
Hello !
Today we're going to talk about the new units for the factions available in the early access.
Poland: Poland's new unit is the sensor drone, this drone available in Age 2 allows you to have a clear view in the fog of war once deployed. Beware, it will not be able to move while deployed.
Belarus: This faction gets a boost with the arrival of the Scout. A unit available via the barracks from the beginning of the game. Lower in production cost, with a faster movement speed, the scout is a perfect unit to harass the enemy at the beginning of the game. It can also be useful to secure strategic points more quickly. It is however weaker in attack and health than a rifleman.
Russia: With these secret military programmes Russia is launching its prototype autonomous combat robot into the field. The PS-21, available via the Laboratory at the Last Age. With slightly lower attack stats than the rifleman and a slow speed, it is distinguished by its robustness and size. It will be used in area defence and will be more easily targeted by infantry. Useful for attracting attention.
Germany: Germany increases its mobility with the turret drone. Available in Age 2, in the Laboratory, the turret drone allows the deployment of a fixed turret with a high rate of fire. Very effective against an infantry group, it will allow to defend UGVs and technicians during collections or to reinforce a strategic point.
France: With a desire to silence enemy tanks, the French are reinforced with the arrival of the anti-tank armour-piercing drone. Fast and mobile, this drone fires an armour-piercing projectile that will do great damage to enemy vehicles. Beware of infantry groups that will easily overwhelm it. Available in Age 3, via the Laboratory.

The Baltic Countries are represented by 3 skins in the game. Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia.
Building: The buildings have a "container" style, we find the same as for the other factions except for the infirmary which disappears.
The specificity of the tent is its low cost which can give an advantage at the beginning of the game, however it offers only 3 additional population slots. You will have to build more tents than the other factions to reach the maximum of 40 units.
Unit: Barracks:
Rifleman = Germany/Russia.
Grenade launcher = all factions.
Rocket launcher = Poland/Russia.
Fusion launcher = all factions.

Mortar = - 1 damage / increase movement speed by +0.3.
Laboratory:
UAV = all factions.
New Unit : Anti-infantry combat drone.
New Unit : Anti-tank combat drone.
New Unit : Healing Drone.
The anti-infantry combat drone is inspired by the Estonian Milsem drone with its anti-vehicle variant. It has the same attack stats as the Russian drone with a higher hit point count and reduced speed. Its anti-tank variant joins the French anti-tank drone but uses rockets.
The healing drone is a flying drone with the ability to heal infantry units.
Vehicle: The Buggy is equal to the other factions with only 3 seats.
The Jeep is equipped with a grenade launcher and reduced armor –20 health points.
The Truck is equal to the German faction and unarmed.
The Armored Support is equal to that of the Polish faction.
