<t> Hey, admins. As you know, this game being Player vs Player generates a lot of antagonism between sides (Axis and Allies). Any chance you could edit the news post on your main page to first include a balanced description of the 14-day trial before mentioning the "Play Allied" weekend? Arguments ...

If you fight for the Germans, I'm not sure where to tune ...

If you play allied, just tune ch37. This is the 3rd Canadian division. Listen and find out what city they're in...then go and fight with them.

Also, they are working on an ordnance server that tracks long-range fire and grenades. That way, they can add bouncing grenades instead of the 'explode ...
