The Battlegroup42 team says hello and is back with another news which you have all been waiting for. Today we are releasing the latest patch for Battlegroup42, 1.61. It fixes some bugs in the full release of version 1.6 and incorporates the community feedback we have received since the release of 1.6. We even managed to include a small surprise !
 
In addition to the maps shown in the previous update we have intentionally included a bug in this patch, not one that will annoy you but on the contrary, one that will give you a lot of fun. This time you can take "bug" literally - bug as in "beetle": in version 1.61 the Volkswagen Type 87 appears on Battlegroup42´s battlefields. Known as the "Käfer" (beetle in english) it wrote automotive history. The German Wehrmacht used this car during WWII with great success as staff and commando car as well as an ambulance and other tasks. The Käfer proved its worth in the deserts of Northern Africa as well as in Russia. Our model was made by Wyvern and primarily was meant for the abandoned German Front mod. The textures were made by Tha Godfather.
And now we wish you a lot of fun with this new version of Battlegroup42. There are some download links for you available (see end of this news). This time we will not give you a direct download link from our website at once - last time the traffic was so intense that the server nearly broke down and it cost a LOT of money. We want to avoid this problem this time - after all Battlegroup42 is not a commercial product.
