Hi Everyone,

A truly major update for Afghanistan '11 is now ready for you to try out and test! It should work just fine already, but it is a lot of big changes so we'd like you to test it and make sure all is well before we make it official.

Is it possible to join this Beta (and future betas) through Steam?

[Tamas]

An update has been released for the Public Beta!

It is available from the updated links on the top, and -to offer a very late answer to the previous question- it is also available on Steam. Please check the Steam forums of Afghanistan '11 to learn how.

The update contains a large number of small UI optimisations and bug fixes based on your earlier feedback. Thank you!

Once we confirm with your help that this patch is good to go, we will make it official.
