Tomorrow we launch the free Aussie Update for all players of DOI. We'll have a full change log then, but want to give you a glimpse of what's to come.

You can join in a beta branch playtest starting at 6pm EST tonight (May 17) to check it out!


In March 1945, Allied soldiers had pushed all the way through France to the German border. They crossed the Rhine river and surged into the German industrial heartland to fight for two more months until VE Day. A brand new map, Rhineland created by JakHalz, was the runner-up in our Gamebanana & Mapcore DOI Mapping Content. We previewed the map on our blog, with more screenshots and photo spheres from Sketchfab.


We are introducing two Australian units to the Commonwealth faction. On the map Crete, the 2nd AIF is available for anyone to select while playing as the Commonwealth team. This unit features the iconic Slouch Hat for the Officer class with authentic Aussie voice acting for all classes. The 2/17th Battalion is an unlockable unit that features the same voice acting and Slouch Hat for all classes.

Check out the full preview on our blog and another awesome Sketchfab render below:

Another Aussie addition is the Owen Gun SMG available for the Commonwealth faction when Australian units are on the map. Both the Officer and Assault class have access to the Owen.
https://sketchfab.com/models/f4baed8c997a473494163975626ac179


In addition to the two Australian units, we have more new units!

For the Americans, the 761st "Black Panthers" Tank Battalion that features a tanker helmet and goggles.
