Armoured Commander II News

This update brings a new Early War campaign, allowing you to join German forces in their invasion of Russia up to December 1941. I've also added a number of new units in preparation for a Late War German campaign, coming in a few weeks or so. As always, please report bugs and crashes on the discussion board. Changelog follows:
