Post feature Report RSS Dr.Thrax description and unit-list

Since I have no access to any modelling tools, I decided to put certain promotional information concerning Dr. Thrax. He will be available as playable general in coming GLA Beta Release (planned on end of summer). Good news: about 50% of work on unit-list is done Bad news: I don't have money for new video-card at present -_-

As a result of previous US campaign, Dr. Thrax's forces were defeated and he himself was captured and held in detention camp. However, with help of Terror Leader, he managed to escape, restore his forces and resume his inhumane experiments. But, suffered heavy losses he could not fully restore his vehicle park and had to base his new weaponry on tractors and other not-so-militaristic vehicles.

On the other hand, with help of his new old friends, Dr. Thrax broadened his deadly chemical arsenal with acid and cinders weaponry and significantly improved his means of delivery. At the same time, he enlist most talented do-it-himself mechanics and scientists to further improve performance of his garage-built monstrous vehicles. Building multiple chemical research and production facilities and supplying his "friends" with deadly toxic weaponry, he poses a serious threat to public security.
