I see that no one is telling or asking something about this one so i will try to brake the ice and i will hope that i will receive some answer.My question i guess would be, is this project still on or off and if it is on than can you tell us something more about it.

Hi Guys, Presently we have been busy sorting out the Multi-Player functions for both our previous products. Okay I know that is not what you single-player's want to here, but rest assured the next Project "Overlord" is still in development. Will hopefully be providing new details by the end of this month. Here are a few screen shots of new units that will feature in the game:  Sherman Firefly  Cromwell CS  Churchill AVRE  Various new Sherman Models  Churchill Crocodile |

Hi Finlander, Game play will essentially stay the same with changes to reflect the nature of the fighting in Normandy. For example the terrain in the Normandy Bocage is restrictive to vehicles. One of the game play enhancements will be increasing gun crew survivability. Crews for towed weapons will now be five instead of three and they will be harder to kill. The downside is each gun will require more resources to re-crew.  We will also be restricting human supply in most missions. For example battlefield replacements took place during the night hours. So when a mission represents a battle that took place over several days human re-supply units will only be available at set times for both the player and computer AI. Yes Ilija the Sherman Crab will clear mines. This is a work in progress shot, but gives you an idea:  The Crab will detonate mines as it passes over them, although this will need to be done several times to clear all mines. |

yes ;Dauthentic is the name of the game
just thinking how did you made the tanks move in the thick bocace country?if i remember correctly they had to make some cutters to the front of the tanks and even then it was very difficult to get trough,not to mention infantry alone.
