TT's Biggest update ever. news

We're sorry for not posting news in quite some time but at least we got a lot to tell you now. We have quite a few updates to inform you about so let's hope you enjoy reading.

The guys behind the scenes are still keeping up a quick pace to get a great quality game out to you, the users. In light of team review and suggestions by fans, our Beta 1 will be devoid of officers but will include a grenadier class and melee weapons for intense infantry close quarters combat. The grenadier held a very specific and important role in World War I combat: escorted by riflemen, the grenadier would rush down enemy trenches while flinging grenades into every dugout he passed. However, we were careful to make sure this did not become a "spam" class; the grenadier will carry no weapon, as a pack of Mills Bombs or other grenades would be heavy; only armed with a bayonet for self defense, the grenadier relies on the teamwork between himself and the other infantry to stay alive.

Also, the British infantryman has been in the process of being redone for awhile now and it's really paying off! Oelund has nearly finished the skin and the animations are already set up. Great work Terminus, Nojmaster, and Oelund! Check it out!:
