Armoured Commander II News

Hotfix of a bug where it was possible that a player commander could disappear after being sent to the field hospital, if the player's vehicle was lost in action during his stay

It's been just over two weeks since Armoured Commander II left Early Access, and the response from new and old players alike has been really positive. As I mentioned in the release announcement, I'm not done developing the game quite yet, and still have quite a bit of new content planned. Below is my current roadmap for where I want to take the game next. All of this planned content will be free to owners of the game.

• Ongoing: Bugfixes, crash fixes, minor Quality of Life and interface improvements
  
• Near-term: Create modding guide, add Workshop and Nexus integration
  
• Near-term: Add new air and ground units 1939-1945
  
• Near-term: Minor improvements to existing campaigns
  
• Medium-term: Spanish Civil War units and campaigns
  
• Medium-term: Pacific and Southeast Asia units and campaigns
  
• Medium-term: Second Sino-Japanese War units and campaigns
  
• Long-term: Korean War units and campaigns
