It's supposedly more historically accurate. I'd like to give it a try wheneveer I get around to getting it.

Comments?

Wow.....

This looks amazing, the requirements seems to be too much for my computer setup though.

They seem to have a map pack for 1942, I wonder if it might be time to try out a whole new set of maps (another download pack) on monday cuz the maps on the the training server and these might be a VERY cool change. Maybe alternate Mondays with the ones we have now and the new ones. Just a thought.

Here's the Main site Btw. http://www.battlegroup42.de/

And here's some videos for the Battlegroup 1.6 (new version)

Woo Hoo!

I just played on Tobruk at lunch time. Commanding a gun battery with 3 arty pieces was great. Especially as it was the axis artillery & I was playing allies shellacking them as they passed in front of me
BUT no Zook. I played anti tank expecting a zook & got something else which didn't seem as effective. I did like the way that when playing engy the mines disappeared in to the sand leaving just the top poking out.
Won't be putting it on the laptop though as the unpacked files are nearly 4gb & I don't have the space.

Reminds me of Forgotten hope maps.
A lot of new fun stuff to destroy.

[[JiF]Cesar]

I've just downloaded and extracted it all. (i think i extracted it to the right place)

But it don't work! When i press the "BattleGroup42" button it comes up a box like on Battlefield 1942 and suddenly it goes away. So i started my Battlefield 1942 program. I pressed on "Custom Game" I highlighted Battlegroup42 and press Activate. Then the program shuts down like if i pressed the Exit button.

This has happened to me once with the normal Battlefield 1942 when i downloaded the map pack for CMM. I solved it with finding out that i had a file called "Maps Name".img I deleted the file and it worked. But when i go to: C:\Programfiles\EA GAMES\Battlefield 1942\Mods\battlegroup42\Archives\bf1942\levels. There is only lots of map names that's .rfa files. No unwelcome visitors.

...A little help?

[[JiF]Cesar]

I found a copy of a map, i deleted it and i could play! Pretty good mod!

[[JiF][AARP]Tissueman]

I downloaded it, but won't get a chance to try it for a day or so. Is this more like FH or BF42? Realistic or arcady? Do grenades destroy tanks? for instance.

[[JiF]Melon Farmer]

Nope, grenade kills are hard to get, but a decent tank can take out a half-track with one shot. Their thing is to make it realistic, and it hits the mark pretty well I'd say.

[[JiF]Brick]

I see all the BG maps are in the list in BFRM on the regular server.
Does that mean we are ready to go?

Do we need to set a day to play these?

[[JiF]Navy_Seals]

lol the BG42 mod is awesome lol

[[JiF]Mike]

The maps are on the server, but I'm going to setup the training server to test it out. I wanna make sure it works before they are put into the cycle. If everything works well I hope to make next Monday a BG42 day.
