Communiqué
Battle Pack: The Great Swan, the first Battle Pack for Combat Mission, is finally here! The Great Swan, designed and made by veteran mission designer Jon Sowden, covers a two month period in which the Allied armies in Normandy destroyed the cream of the 1944 German Army. Following this resounding defeat the Allies bounded across France in just a few days. It is during this period of stunning advance that The Great Swan is set, following the advance of the British 2nd Army from the Seine River, through Belgium, and all the way to the high water mark of the advance along the Meuse and lower Rhine.

The new Battle Pack 1 includes the brand new v3.12 patch as well. It contains a number of tweaks, fixes, and enhancements for everybody to enjoy. If you want to download the v3.12 patch on its own, you can download from here. The great thing is it contains all of the Battle Pack 1 data so if you want the Pack later you can do so without an additional download.
