Welcome back to another news update from the Battlegroup42 team. This
time we are not telling you something about new vehicles or planes but
a very enjoyable addition to the Battlegroup42 community: The German Wargamer
Project (WGP) has decided to switch to Battlegroup42 as campaign mod,
starting with the upcoming 12th campaign.
  
For some years now the members of the Wargamer project have been
playing campaigns based on Battlefield 1942. Each Sunday at 8 pm GMT+1 the
members meet on the WGP server and in TeamSpeak to fight the battle for
world domination on the game's maps. This includes a simple economy
system with industry points for the countries you own or conquer,
allowing you to purchase a plane, tank or bunker in the next battle.
Because of that each battle, although played on the same maps, is
different from the others and offers changing tactical challenges. The
11th campaign has just ended with a victory of the united axis forces
and a new one is to begin soon.
As you know the original
Battlefield 1942 game doesn't offer a large variety of vehicles,
planes, weapons and maps. Additionally most of the maps have no
tactical challenges. It's impossible to fight real dogfights with the
planes, impossible to fight long distance battles with tanks and
infantry men because of the strange behaviour of the handweapons. But this is going to change!
Behind the scenes talks between the Battlegroup42 team and WGP had been
going on for months now to answer the question if and how Battlegroup42
could be used as a campaign. After a testing phase the WGP members have
decided to use BG42. WGP is now going to create a minimod which is
based on Battlegroup42, containing campaign-specific changes. This has
the advantage that campaign players don't need to change their
installation of Battlegroup42 and the patchfiles for single battles
only apply for the minimod. That way they can still play Battlegroup42
on public servers without having to remove the patch files.
Battlegroup42
offers a huge pool of vehicles, planes, ships and firearms, making it
simply ideal for a campaign. An overview can be found in the content
list of our encyclopaedia which has just been enhanced with a list of
infantry firearms. Our big and high quality map pool
guarantees a lot of variation and suspense, be it in the moderate
climate of Middle Europe, the hot deserts of Africa, the cold snow of
Russia or the tropical regions of the Pacific. The Battlegroup42 team recommends all BG42 fans to join the new
WGP campaign with BG42. You can sign up on the WGP Website: http://www.wargamer-project.de
 
We're
closing this news with a little candy for you: In the past we've been
asked again and again about new testmaps. Due to the ever increasing
vehicle pool the old map was no longer suited. Senshi from WGP created
new test maps for the WGP members which he kindly donated to BG42.
Sarge Surfat edited them to BG42 standards, enabling the team to offer
you these maps as a mappack download. You can find it in our download section. We are also very proud to announce Senshi as a new team member of Battlegroup42. He will take care of our weapon animations from now on and is already working on several projects.
That's it for today. Next
time we'll tell you what our modellers have done in the meantime. so
stay tuned and visit our website regularly. Supporters and team members
are always welcome.

Wow, some big news - I'm sure what to expect but I will admit I'm pretty excited!

There won't be any disadvantages if you play as "jumper" (we call it mercenary ;) ), except you won't be able to collect medals.
Even the regular team players can't play every sunday, RL goes first, obviously.
At the moment we have about 10 on 10 players (most of them "veterans" of the past campaigns), but we'd be more than happy to field more soldiers in our battles :) . And you can always just join us on sundays and join our battles on the fly and get a first impression.

I'm still not quite sure.
Maybe as "jumper" cause I can't play every sunday.

Ok, if enough are going to register i would do it too ;) then I'd try to get in the Axis-Team... What's with the others here?! Will you stay on the MOB-Server on Sunday or will you join the campaign?!?
