Major update brings a new soldier class, new squads, weapons and gear

Darkflow Software and Gaijin Entertainment announce the release of the “Guerrilla Warfare” major content update for the military online shooter Enlisted. It brings the new Guerrilla soldier class, the new “Mountain Pass” map, as well as new weapons and vehicles such as sawed-off PPSh and self-propelled gun Marder III. In addition, tanks and other armored vehicles now look better in motion thanks to the new physical model of tracks.

Watch the Enlisted “Guerrilla Warfare” Update trailer HERE.

Soviet partisans, German militias and irregular fighters from other nations can move around the enemy combat zone, that is usually closed to soldiers of other classes, and arrange treacherous ambushes. Only the respawn zones are off-limits to them. The guerrilla fighters have spare ammo for any weapon they might capture and carry extra charges of TNT for sabotage.

The new Mountain pass map in Ardennes is inspired by the bloody battles between the US and Germany in the winter of 1944. Here players fight for control of a small town with an important transport junction in the middle, maneuvering through snowy mountain forests, deserted streets and hastily constructed Allied fortified areas. The complex terrain provides many reliable shelters and no less ways to bypass them.

Finally, many wheeled and tracked vehicles in Enlisted have been visually updated. The suspension physics have become even more detailed, so tracks realistically stretch when driving over various obstacles, and the antennas sway when moving.

You can learn more about the changes in the Guerrilla Warfare update on the official website of the game.

Hello wargame fans. We have some great news about Gary Grigsby’s Eagle Day to Bombing the Reich, a big new update is out!

You can download the update HERE.

We would like to thank community devs Richard Simonitch and Keith Butterley for all their hard work. It is thanks to their contributions, and other community developers like them, that enable classic wargaming titles like this to be enjoyed decades after their initial release.

EDBTR version 1.06.83 fixes what we believe to be the last remaining bugs since the introduction of the original base game and adds some additional minor improvements to the user interface (UI).

We have also added a new feature for the Allied Typhoon fighter-bomber that allows the player to switch between bombs and rockets during strike planning. Rockets are far more effective against AFV’s than bombs, but much reduced effect against other targets within the ground units in the game.

The patch represents the culmination of over 15 years of development by the Matrix team on this unique and remarkable game system, including significant improvements to the UI, improved AI, historical orders of battle, and new documentation for PBEM, Aircraft production, and Electronic Warfare development.

Gary Grigsby’s Eagle Day to Bombing the Reich is currently on sale. At 81% off this week, it’s a real bargain to pick up this classic title.

The full changelog is available HERE.

Slitherine is thrilled to announce that Scramble: Battle of Britain will be released in Early Access on October 29th. The game will feature a brand-new “Squadron Leader” game mode, where you will manage a persistent roster of pilots, each with unique traits, and engage in a battle for survival against overwhelming odds.

A “Skirmish” mode is also available, allowing customizable quick matches where you can play as either the RAF or the Luftwaffe.

The game will be launched in Early Access because it introduces a highly innovative gameplay system, and Slitherine believes that it will benefit massively from player feedback. This approach will allow to refine the game through continuous iteration and upgrades, ensuring a truly engaging and polished experience for the full release.

Prepare to master a whole new level of tactical dogfighting, pilots.
