When we first tested KarlTaco’s AB1943 mod back in April, it consisted of "only" the Red Army, Red Army Guards, and the Wehrmacht.
In the last nine months, it has become not only the most subscribed Armored Brigade mod, but probably the largest too, by a wide margin, reaching almost 2000 units and their variations. It first expanded to the Western Front, introducing new factions such as the Waffen-SS, the United Kingdom, and the United States Army. While they are surely as thorough as the other three factions and benefit greatly from the purchasable Ardennes map, they are a natural and, to some extent, saturated option for World War II. However, what comes as a thrilling novelty is the bold change in the theatre of war, one that pushes the limits of the engine to the limit. Now it is the turn of the Pacific, with the United States Marine Corps and Imperial Japan (combining Imperial Army and SNLF) as newcomers.

Wargamer:
The recently released “nation pack” for last November’s Armored Brigade is a great example of why you can never have too much of a good thing. The two nations included in the DLC, Italy and Yugoslavia, bring Armored Brigades already fulsome roster up to nine cold war combatants.
What's more, players who purchase the nation pack will also have access to the new 61x61 Km map of the Italian-Yugoslav border, making for plausible randomly generated missions between the starring nations of the DLC. Or should I say plausibly generated campaigns, as Veitikka Studios, to coincide with the release of the nation pack, co-released a free dynamic campaign generator, adding an aspect to Armored Brigade that was sorely needed since launch.
Read the full review on the Wargamer website.
We have made a few fixes and changes following the release of the first Nation Pack, including two brand new scenarios, that use the Nation Pack's units and map.
You can download it via the game's updater, or from the Members Area.
