The Combat Service Support (CSS) Pack DLC for Maneuver Warfare is now out on Steam. It adds three types of CSS platoons to your battle group: supply, medical, and vehicle recovery, with a variety of vehicle types in each category.

This pack adds a Combat Service Support (CSS) company to your battle group. It has a selection of CSS platoons that increase your ammo resupply rate or the proportion of troops/vehicles that are wounded/damaged as opposed to dead/destroyed - this results in greater reinforcements in campaign games.

Here is a 6 screenshot sequence of an attack on an French-held village in Maneuver Warfare. In the first one, the battle group runs into a minefield and an enemy scout plane appears in the sky. In the second, the scout is gone - chased off by a friendly fighter patrol and Stukas are hitting the enemy position. Engineers had removed the minefield (although another one was encountered on the main road). In the third, maneuver elements are advancing into the village through the gap in the mines made by the engineers to the right of the road while a smoke screen partly blocks the view of enemy elements on the left. In the fourth, the battle group has seized the right side of the village. A retreating enemy element was just destroyed (its symbol replaced by the Legion of Honour cross). You can see the casualties mount in the info and report windows on the bottom right and on the unit info window top left. In fifth screenshot we see two artillery batteries supporting the battle group's assault and in the sixth 2 companies of R35 tanks withdrawing after a failed counterattack.
But the fight is not over yet as the battle group has made contact with French units in depth...

The third book of the Brandenburgers series is now out.

With the end of the war approaching, Sergeant Bachmann's team is sent to to hide a shipment of gold from the Reichsbank in the icy wastes of the Far North. At first, the men count themselves lucky to get pulled out of the collapsing front in East Prussia to go on this mission – especially when they find a mysterious cave that promises riches that could set them up for life. However, with the SS, and Soviet and British special forces getting involved, the Brandenburgers soon realize that they might not be as fortunate as they thought they were.
