Afghanistan ’11 is getting an update with many new exciting features, and it’s completely FREE!
Before we talk about it, though, we want to announce that Afghanistan ’11 is now 34% off on our site, so if you still don’t have it and you are interested (of course you are, why else would you be here otherwise?) go grab it RIGHT NOW! The discount will last for a week.
The first and probably most important new feature is the MOAB!
The MOAB is a very interesting weapon: it costs a lot in terms of PP and HM but if used correctly it can be a huge asset. It disables the Taliban and Militia caves and kills enemy units in the bomb radius. High risk – High reward!
The second new feature helps your logistics: it carries your troops and vehicles around the map in a safer and more efficient way!
With Convoys you will be able to link up to 6 vehicles and move them together around the map while having the possibility to move each of these vehicles away from the convoy whenever you want. Are you mad because enemy mines blow up your “Buffalo” every single time you move it out of the base? Are you sick of having to move each one of your 24 vehicles? This one is for you!
There are also many more features that will help to enhance your in-game experience, so let’s take a rapid look at them:
- You can now drop Emergency UN Aid on villages
- Explosions adjacent or on villages reduces HM
- Helicopters can now rank up and have higher chance of surviving RPG fire
- Added exit ambush stance to Infantry
- Added hotkeys for Load (L) and Unload (U) actions
- NATO icon colours changes after handover
- Intel from villages now appear at less predictable intervals
- There is no handover penalty if PP is negative
- Repatriating units while PP is negative returns more PP
- Added rappelling animation to SF unloading from helicopters in mountains
- Units low on rations or fuel now warn the player before ending the turn
- Units low on rations will leave ambush, observation point or sentry
- Next / Previous unit buttons will work relative to the last unit selected

BattleGoat Studios is pleased to announce the release of their Real Time Geopolitical Strategy/Wargame, Supreme Ruler The Great War. Game Designer and Project Lead Christian Latour commented, “The Supreme Ruler franchise has given our community members deep tactical combat and nation management from World War II to the present day, but previously offered nothing for the beginning of the century. The First World War was such a milestone in shaping modern warfare that we’ve had frequent community requests for a game in this period since our last release. Having developed the later eras already, we have been able to add the earlier time frame while still offering a game which can be played into modern times“.
