Hello there! The new update is live! This release brings a fresh new Advance map to our collection. The new map features snowy landscapes of rural Poland and the village of Rederitzone of the few strongholds positioned at the main line of Pomeranian Wall. Rederitz Advance is a mix of trench lines, woodsy areas, and house-to-house fighting; all packed into a lengthy, but straightforward Advance layout. This is our second map to include Polish Peoples Army, which now takes it's official place among Darkest Hour factions. The update also includes a boatload of map fixes and other various updates; look below for a detailed list. It's worth mentioning that some of our community members left their mark on the development of this level. We'd like to thank Rolandz and Rotzlffel for giving us a hand with testing and ironing out major bugs on Rederitz before the release.
