Operation Market Garden Major update!

Operation Market Garden (OMG) is a persistent, multiplayer only modification. Players design their own company online and join battles against other players. When the dust settles you keep your company, buy replacements for your losses and move on to the next battle. We put a strong emphasis on balance, community, transparency, and fun. Currently in an open beta, we are constantly improving, adding new OMG features and content.

Head on over to http://www.omgmod.org/frontpage.php to get started!


General:

-All new companies now start with 4 VPs, this helps new players and people who join later into the war. It also allows for a little initial company customization.
-In game unit health and xp will be displayed when a unit is selected, this will be useful for aiding all player skill caps, but especially less experienced players.
-Minimum platoon population for deployment is now 7, this better fits a lot of our current unit pop value strategy much better than 8 without allowing too many more call in combos.
-VPs are now capped at 50 VPs per company, this will allow for a more even playing field for everyone but also cause players to have to give more thought to what abilities or resource bonuses they actually choose.
-Loading screen messages have been updated with tips. Try to collect them all! (No cheating!)

Maps:

Note: If you participated in a map test please go into your omg/archives folder in your install directory and delete the beta map, i.e. "6p_beta4.sga" to avoid potential errors.
