Uglyboy 10 Posted July 22, 2010 the price is... 8 Pounds 9 Euros 10 dollars. Its released on the.. 26th of august fair enough to me # Engine Improvements * Extension of the Engineer's role * Ability for players to effectively operate and command artillery and mortar units :confused: EDIT: The fully modelled artillery and mortar strikes and the extension of the engineer class to include new duties - such as vehicle repair and bomb disposal - add a new depth of realism to the most authentic mil-sim available.

EricM 0 Posted July 22, 2010 (edited) Why no Official Challenger ? It's not very hard to model : bulky box on threads + no interiors... Yes, there's already one made by the community, but the whole concept of a faction package is to make it complete enough to have a standard MP game while assuming everybody has the same units... otherwise, why not download everthing from the community already ? (apart from supporting BIS development, obviously). Edit : Still time to go... there's still hope. Edited July 22, 2010 by EricM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
