Thanks God!

So no 1 hour games , where both side are fighting only about the middle vp


I think / hope we will NOT see only OKW wins.

(Hm why Barton, Noggano, Jae and Arno are for OKW and not USA )

UPDATE: so obviously with FBP on hold there's no point in us testing it anymore, so this event is now on the live patch.

(However in future we may look at the revamp mod depending on the situation at the time).
