Semper Fi,
The United States Marine Corps are storming onto D-day's beaches to join the American side as a new sub-faction!

To play the new USMC sub-faction, simply start a game as America but after deploying your construction vehicle you'll be given the choice to  play as either the Army or the Marine Corps.

Picking the Army will give you access to the normal selection of units, which are predominantly from the European theater of WW2. Choosing to play as the Marine Corps however will let you use units from the Pacific theater, such as the LVT-4 transport, the LVT(A)-4 artillery & the LVTAA-X2 anti-air tank. They also use a different selection of aircraft from the army, instead using simpler & more robust planes like the TBD Devastator, F4F Wildcat & F6F Hellcat.

For more information on the units that the Marine Corps can build please see the unit list, which has been completely redone with a new look.

Face hugs,

First I'd like to announce the D-day facebook page! You'll be able to catch up with the latest D-day news there as well smaller updates with previews of stuff I'm currently working on. If you haven't seen them already I also recommend the Twisted Insurrection, Mental Omega & AGSA pages.

Now onto ingame news, here are the last of the Hungarian ground units, which also make up their sides special ability.

These units aren't buildable but are given to you as reinforcements by your Axis allies every 5-10 minutes after you build an embassy.

Pre/early War:
CV-35
Pzkfw 38(t)

Mid War:
Pzkfw III
Stug III

Late War:
Pzkfw IV
38(t) Hetzer

Post War:
Pzkfw V Panther
Jagdpanther

Note: You will receive two of each every 5 minutes, in Total War tho you will get one of all of them every 10 minutes.

Next here is the last of the Hungarian aircraft, the three bombers tho are used as part of super weapons which are still incomplete & wont be available in the next beta.

This odd looking plane believed by some to be a late war jet fighter prototype was in fact an Aprils fool joke in a military magazine published during the 70's, it has since gone on to gain myth status among historians.
Much like the Italian Re.2007 which was as equally fictitious, it is however an intriguing part of Hungary's history & thus included in D-day.

me329.jpg
Designed in Germany as a successor to the Me-210, it only got as far as a full sized mock up before it was cancelled early in 1945. Though not a Hungarian aircraft I envision them buying the license to build this plane like they did with it's predecessor the Me-210 in an alternative Post-War.

ju86.jpg
Designed by the Germans in the mid 30's. It was a commercial success & was exported to several different countries around the world before the war, Hungary being one of the main ones. One of the other countries to also buy it was South Africa, which then used them against the Germans during the war.

rmi5.jpg
A Hungarian design for a large four engined transport & bomber, it was an ambitious projects tho & none where ever built.

ar234c.jpg
The C-2 was a planed upgrade of the Ar-234 with 2 extra engines & various other improvements, only a few prototypes where built before the end of the war but it was planed to become the main production version. Much like the Me-329 I hypothetically envision Hungary receiving some from their German Allies in an alternative Post-War.

I have some more Hungarian content coming soon, buildings, defences & their sidebar. I also have something interesting for the Americans in the works too.

Hungarian Buildings,
All of the basic Hungarian buildings are now complete! They where very much a learning experience for me as they are the first set of 3D models I've finished. I'll be using these new found skills more in the future, the french buildings are next on the to do list etc.

Working in 3D has also meant that making things such as the damage frames can be done a lot easier & faster.

Posted Image

The same also applies to the buildup animations, so the Hungarians are the first side to have a fully completed set of buildings.

Samokhodnaya Ustanovka,
I've been away on holiday travailing around the UK & Netherlands for most of the past two months so I haven't done much work on D-day. So to get back into the swing of things I jumped back into the vxl editor & churned out a few more units :p

Posted Image
A small & light tank destroyer designed for Soviet airborne troops in 1949, it was one of (if not) the first tank with the ability to be dropped by parachute.

Posted Image
Originally designed for the army in 1951 this tank destroyer suffered from a protracted development time so by the time it was ready for production it was out of date & faced cancellation. Luckily with the introduction of new heavy lift helicopters this tank could be used by the airborne troops & so found a home.

Designed in 1947 using the Is-7 as it's base this heavy artillery was canceled before a prototype was made.

Posted Image
This monolithic artillery was built to counter the American M65 atomic guns & basically showed them anything you can build we can build bigger! With it's 406mm cannon it could fire nuclear shells up to 25km away.

Hungary for more?,
After the release of the D-day beta I planned to take a break, relax & do nothing for a while...

Instead I ended up adding a whole new side to D-day, Hungary!

Hungary might sound like a strange choice for a new side but when compeared to Italy & Japan their ground forces are just as good or often better, some are even a match for their German counterparts. Hungary's major downfall tho is that being a land locked country their naval forces are made from river gunboats, so don't expect much.

Other than their buildings, most of their units are finished so they will be included in the next beta. See the new Hungarian page on the D-day site for more information.
