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 Gamespy, AMD GAME! and IGN.

Mare Nostrum brings the British Commonwealth to Red Orchestra, focusing on the deserts and towns of North Africa and the surrounding Mediterranean. A trailer is available on the Steam web page, along with screen shots and more information. Now you can play as British, Polish, Australian and Italian troops, with a huge range of additional features:

· 26 all new Steam achievements.
· 14 new infantry weapons, such as the ever-distinctive Thompson
submachine gun, Bren machine gun, Beretta 1934 pistol, and the SMLE
rifle.
· Full Italian and Polish localisations.
· Over 20 new crewable vehicles including the Carro Armato M13/40 and
Semovente 75/18 for the Italians, countered with multiple Valentine
tank variants, plus the Stuart I, Matilda II and Vickers Mk VIB.
· 12 new maps, including:

  • Crete - Fallschirmjäger units dropping into the midst of Australian defenders in this classic battle.
  •  Ancona Approach - The Fallschirmjäger are back in action, this time defending against the Polish advance in eastern Italy.
  • Gazala Line - Desert tank warfare does not get bigger than this. Start your engines and prepare for total war.
  • Road To Tunis - The war in North Africa is almost over, but the British
    must first push the Axis tanks from one last mountain valley to reach
    Tunis.
  • Tobruk Central - The Australian defenders have been
    under siege for longer than they can remember, how much longer will
    they be able to hold out?
  • Bardia - The Italian garrison is
    surrounded, but they will not give us this cliff top town and its
    valuable port without a struggle.
