[h2]Dear mechanics[/h2]

We have some good news for you regarding the recent problems we were facing with the interior of the Maus. The DMCA Takedown Notice we received shortly before Christmas from Valve/Steam has been revoked!

DeGenerals managed to sign a license agreement with the creator of the Maus design we used. He permitted us to use his work in our game. The interior will be back to the game with the next patch. We don't want to put a specific date yet but probably in early 2022.



With this positive note, we end a fruitful 2021. Thank you for being with us, mechanics! In 2022 you can expect a release of DLC at the beginning of February. Then, we'll prepare a roadmap for you to keep you up to date with our plans and ideas.



In the meantime you can visit our First Supply DLC Steam page. It is already up!
