Standard Features
=================
To those new to Battlegroup42, here are some tips:
1) APCs are crucial to teamwork - they repair tanks and other
vehicles as well as giving health and ammo. The APC driver
has a mouselook ability, and can even look round to see his
teammates in the back (good clan screenshots welcomed!). There
are extra APCs added to most of the original maps, and they
stay around for longer (so you can use them as mobile supply
points).
2) Light tanks like the Panzer II, M3Stuart and StuartI can
spot for artillery (right-click in position 2).
3) The King Tiger can fire smoke grenades to conceal itself
(right-click in position 2).
4) The FlaK36 ('88') is dual fire - left-click against aircraft
and right-click against tanks.
5) Mobile artillery is fully operated by one player
(e.g. British Bishop and German Bison) and can be turned to
a new direction even while in the artillery view.
6) There is a lot of fixed artillery so make use of it. Howitzers
and field guns like the US M2A1 Howitzer, German sIG33 and
Russian ZIS-3 have right-click artillery view; anti-tank guns
like the ZIS-2AT, 6pdr and M5AT do not.
Known Bugs and Issues:
The PIAT reload animation has no projectile

Looks awesome!
What's the difference between this and the Client Files, except that this is literally 10x as small?
The difference is that this is a file package to put on a server. You need the BIG client download to run it at home. See ya on the battlefield!
