An old friend of ours, Jim Zabek, has been playing the beta some over the last week or so and has now put together a preview piece over at Armchair general. For the grognards among us, Armchair General, is a well-known and loved site. If you don’t what a “grognard” is, its about time you went and learnt a bit more about military history and strategy – and Armchair General is the place to go! Whichever camp you fall into, Jim’s piece is a good read: click HERE!

In a change from RO2 news – here is something from the Rising Storm team: they are running a competition to get your face into the mod. They need 1 more Japanese volunteer and 8 to be “Americans”. [They don't have to BE American - I'm thinking Damien Lewis in BoB here, of course.] There are also some prizes on offer, so head over the to the Rising Storm website to find all the details!

Two more videos for you this afternoon:

• First one is on Youtube, from JaguarUSF of Out of Eight
• And the second is from GamesCom, taken by Gametrailers, showing tank combat

And, as always, we strongly encourage everyone to go and watch the vids – AND to comment. It makes them feel like giving us coverage is worthwhile!

And more old friends getting in on the act: Ohmwrecker over on Voodoo Extreme has been “extremely” active (sorry) on the Beta in the last week or so, resulting in the first of his videos being posted over on Voodoo Extreme – click HERE. Apparently he has more to come later today! So get over there and give him some encouragement (i.e. comments)!
