Hello everyone!
If you haven't heard, Post Scriptum has been acquired by Offworld Industries and we're currently working with the wonderful team at Mercury Arts to bring you new updates and content. With the acquisition, we're also proud to announce a new name for Post Scriptum: Squad 44!
We're incredibly excited for the future of Squad 44, and growing the community around it. This is a new era for the game, and we're hopeful you'll come along for the ride.
With that, we also have a new update for you!
New Update - Contents
The Battle of Rethymno took place on the Island of Crete between May 20th and 29th in 1941 with Greek and Australian Forces clashing against Fallschirmjäger from the German 7th Fliegerdivision.
As the second and final map in the Battle of Crete series, the Rethymno battlefield has been recreated utilising modern terrain height maps and original maps and sketches dating back to the battle.
This new release also includes a new Greek Faction developed with input from historians and Greek reenactment organisations. The new faction will bring an eclectic mix of German, French, English, Italian and Greek weapons to the game. New weapons include 4 rifles, 2 pistols, 1 light mortar, and a knife.
