The Battle of the Bulge continues!

Finally , the work on BotB Mod goes on. First, I want to apologize to all players who have been waiting for an update for years. Instead of a patch, I wanted to release a new version and already put a lot of work in that. Then RL kicked in and afterwards, I lost track. Got a bit tired of the scenario and wanted to update my skinpacks in between and that project developed into a whole new mod ( which you can check out here )

Now Kapula has joined me and we will continue working on BotB, and a lot of the new stuff I did will of course be incorporated into BotB as well. This will take some time, but I just wanted to inform you that there will definetely be a new version.

is a release on steam planned?
Europe in ruins recently released on steam, releasing this on steam would make it way more popular and easy to download.

BIG Yes !
See a new vehicle and new's for this mod i'm realy happy.
Thank you for ALL your works.
And no problem, we've been expecting you, but we are very happy to see you again ;)
I think, Botb doesn't have "big" change (in gameplay) i hope the mod rest the same :) (commander tech tree, unit, defensive position, pak position etc..)

For finish i have a questions:
This mod now, takes place on "Battle of the Bulge" and "Unternehmen Nordwind".
Do you think you could use ALL Battle of Alsace ? like "Colmar Pocket" ? *^* Add new divisions, maps etc ?
And dev new maps for Bulge and Norwind ?
Maybe change model for M4A3E8 Thunderbolt VII with metal plates ?
Maybe Add for German and US, mortar position ? (120mm German ?)
simply proposals ^^

Again, thank you for your job! And sorry, my english is not the best :/

Current version can run but capture point disappear. Can you fix this problem? Thank you.

Capture points are meant to disappear, the mod uses automatic territory capture. ;-)
