[/p][h2]New Anzio campaign is out![/h2][p][/p][p][/p][p]
Anzio is now live with 15 missions, and the Cassino campaign will arrive in the very next update.[/p][p]In our previous post we mentioned our full focus on reworking the Anzio campaign. The original map has been split into two distinct campaigns and maps: Anzio and Cassino, including the surrounding Gustav Line area. Anzio launches today with 15 missions, while Cassino is planned to include around 14 missions—though that number may change as development continues.[/p][p][/p][p]The new Anzio campaign covers three key operations:[/p]

• [p]Operation Shingle – The Allied landings at Anzio and the establishment of the beachhead in January.[/p]
• [p]Operation Fischfang – Multiple missions highlighting the German counteroffensive launched in February and the intense clashes that followed.[/p]
• [p]Operation Diadem – The Allied breakout of the stalemate at Anzio, culminating in the capture of Cisterna and Campoleone.[/p]

[p][/p][p]This remake delivers a stronger narrative connection, a more accurate recreation of the region, and a major visual upgrade.[/p][p]Cassino will be released in early November, but it’s likely to appear in beta branches during mid-October. We’ll keep sharing progress updates and work-in-progress screenshots on our Discord, so stay tuned! [/p][p][/p][h2]Reworks in vehicles & new camouflage system[/h2][p][/p][p]Our armored forces just received a major upgrade. The Panzer III has been fully reworked, and every historically significant variant is now available: E, F, G, H, J, J1, M, N, L and the fearsome Flammpanzer. Each model comes with refined visuals and performance tweaks to better reflect their real-world counterparts.[/p][p][/p][p]But the tanks themselves are only part of the story. All German vehicles now feature a brand-new dynamic camouflage system that supports a wide range of historically accurate patterns. For mission creators, this system is a game-changer: camouflage can auto-adapt to the environment based on region (latitude/longitude), time period (month and year), and seasonal weather such as snow.[/p][p]This means vehicles will naturally wear the right look for a North African desert in 1941 or a wintry Eastern Front in 1944—without any extra setup. Of course, creators can still hand-pick a specific pattern if they want full control.[/p][p]This approach doesn’t just add dozens of new camo variants; it dramatically elevates the visual fidelity of every battlefield. And we’re not stopping here: in the next update, this adaptive system will roll out to all remaining vehicles, ensuring that the entire roster meets this new quality standard.
[/p][h2]Meet the Luftwaffe Field Division![/h2][p]In the Anzio campaign many of the troops allocated were that of the Luftwaffe Field Division, famously known for their iconic blue uniforms and splinter smocks they now have their place in our latest update-- Anzio now features the famed "Hermann Goering" Division.[/p][h2][/h2][p]Alongside the Luftwaffe units, we’ve expanded the wardrobe across all factions. The German army receives the biggest boost, with over 60 new clothing pieces, including a wide variety of helmets and Panzer uniforms.[/p][p]The Allies aren’t left out: the British now sport new greatcoats and leather jerkins, and U.S. troops have several new gear additions as well.
[/p][p][/p][p]These updates bring even more historical variety and authenticity to every battlefield encounter.[/p][p][/p][h2]Next Update Target: November 10[/h2][p]
We’re aiming to release the next update by November 10.
