As our first official news post, we would like to formally thank you all for the massive support we have had over the past few months in relation to the images we have released, we are glad that you all enjoyed them and will enjoy everything to come.
Today we would like to officially show you some of the many new units we have created for both the British and German forces.
Firstly, we would like to show you the backbone of the Afrika Korps armoured Divison, the Panzer III.
Feared by the Desert Rats for its ferocity and overall battle capability, the Panzer III is an icon of German engineering.

Secondly, backbone of the British armor divisions.
Crusader Mk I/II
Forming the backbone of the British Armoured Divison, with outstanding speed and renowned for its flanking capability, the Crusader Mk1 was the bane of any Infantry attack.

Crusader Mk III
Serving as an Upgrade for the Crusader Mk I/II, the Mk III is almost a mirrored tank of the Mk I/II. Similar speed yet much improved firepower, the Mk III was feared by the Afrika Korps for its ferocious attitude on the field of combat.

Matilda Mk II
Commonly refered to as the Queen of the Desert, the Matilda was a thorn in Rommels side during the early Africa camaign.

Last, but not least, we have the feared artillery guns of the British forces.
6 Pounder Anti Tank Gun
Not as big as some of its brothers, but this everyday gun could punch a hole through any German armour. Favoured by the British for its reliability and manouverability on the battlefield.

17/25 Pounder Anti Tank Gun
Rushed into North Africa to counter the fearsome Tiger, mounted on a modified 25 Pounder carriage meant that it looses it's mobility, but supreme firepower makes up for it.

25 Pounder Howitzer
Accurate and powerful sums up the 25 Pounder. A barrage of these can either destroy or severly halt an Arifka Korps Advance!

Thats all we have for you this time, but we will continue to update the Image gallery with brand new skins and models as we get them, and would like to extend our gracious thank you for the support we have gained, it truly does mean a lot to us all, and gives us the striving motion to continue work on this mod.
Until next time,
Afrika Korps Development Team

Brilliant nice to see guys... always loved the Rommel and Montgomery campaign.
Serving as an Upgrade for the Crusdar Mk I/II, the Mk III is almost a mirrored tank of the Mk I/II. Similar speed yet a much improved firepower, the Mk III was feared by the Afrika Korps for its ferocious attitude on the field of combat.
Crusdar <
Oops :P Thx for pointing out, fixed now.
Great work!I think you mod will be one of he best of company of heroes! I dont can wait for release...
*the best. Sorry
hi, this project still goes on? if it is, a question...why call a faction desert rats? isn't VIII Army will be better? this way you have, in a future the option to add a American faction..just asking ;)
sorry for the bad english, isn't my native language
It's a popular and common name for the Brits in North afrika. Just like Afrika Korps for the Germans. While not everyone might be familiar with the 8th army or the various units that consisted the Afrika Korps.
an italian faction would be awesome and the brits should get australian infantry units maybe :)
looks really good
the thing is australian/british troops are more or lessvery similar apart from the accent so I think some infantry section will have like a canadian accent, or cockney or australian and some indian soldiers too
awesome and just awesome. Any idea about the release date?
sorry for being a selfish Git, But Any new Updates or when will this mod Be relasesased?
