The Team
Mare Nostrum is a modification for Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45 being developed by Sandstorm Productions, which formed in July 2006 upon the merger of the Burning Sands and Campagna Italiana mod teams. Since the union the team has gone from strength to strength and produced the first public beta version of Mare Nostrum in March 2008.

The Mod
Experience some of the fiercest battles of WWII across North Africa with Mare Nostrum [mah-re nohs-troom; Eng.] Building on the realistic, tactical game play that made Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45 a fan favourite, Mare Nostrum lets players battle it out in an all new setting. Featuring British, Australian, German and Italian nations, choose from a range of authentic weaponry or crew one of 10 fully realised vehicles. With 8 different battle environments the game play is varied from gritty street to street fighting in urban surroundings to all out tank warfare in the open desert. This is North Africa, but not like you have seen it before.

  • All new theatre of war. North Africa in the Mediterranean theatre brings an exciting new setting to Red Orchestra.
  • 3 new nationalities featuring all new characters and voices including British, Australian and Italian soldiers.
  • 6 all new vehicles featuring British and German early war armour
  • Man 4 new Anti-Tank cannons to knock out approaching armour
  • Choose from 8 brand new authentic infantry weapons
  • 8 battle locations ranging from wide open deserts to urban settings

In the Press
Mare Nostrum has enjoyed wide ranging media exposure and was voted into the top 100 unreleased mods in the ModDB 2007 Mod of the Year awards. On the 17th October 2008, Mare Nostrum became the first third party game MOD to be made available through Steam.

Mare Nostrum has also been featured on Gamepsy, AMD GAME! and IGN.

Hello and welcome to the Mare Nostrum: Burning Sands Tournament (BST). The tournament is officially supported by Sandstorm Productions, the team behind the mod and has been organised and will be run in association with ROLeague.
  
Burning Sands pits you in highly organised battles, using all the battle locations and equipment of Mare Nostrum. The aim of the tournament is simple; using teamwork and strategy help your army to gain as many territorial points as possible, and the side that holds the most territorial points at the end of the campaign wins the war.
  
Will you be fighting with the determined Italian and German Axis armies, or enlisting into the mighty British  Commonwealth to turn the tide of the war?

Boo, no Italy yet. I suspected there was only Africa. Oh well, maps are pretty sweet, although I have yet to play a game online on one of them.

I just got Red Orchestra for $5 too. I find it quite addicting, although it certainly isn't without its flaws. It is definitely more realistic than all the other WW2 shooters I've played. I have this mod 99% downloaded, can't wait to check out the maps in Italy. I hope there's a Cassino, heh.
