Rommel’s Panzers strike Battle Academy!

Post by Philkian »

The new add-on for the award-winning Battle Academy series: Rommel in Normandy is here

This latest expansion covers the Normandy Campaign, but this time puts you in control of the Germans and their mighty Tigers, Panthers and much more! Through ten single player battles you will face Allied troops attempting to break through from the coast and you must hold them back with your beleaguered forces and their limited supplies.
This add-on also features 5 great new multiplayer scenarios where you can try out the brand new JagdPanther in combat.

The game is available for PC, Mac and iPad as an in-app purchase.


We are also releasing the v2.3 patch for Battle Academy which includes new units and objects from the Rommel in Normandy campaign, AI Team movement improvements, Memory optimizations, bugs fixing and much more!

You can download the patch here. iPad users can get the update via iTunes.
A full change list can be found here.


Get more information about Battle Academy: Rommel in Normandy on its official product page.

Rommel in Normandy is an add-on for Battle Academy and requires Battle Academy to play!

There has indeed been a delay on the IAP for iPad being available. We apologise for the inconvenience.

Cheers

So does that mean we IPad users are unable to download the Rommel Normandy at this time? Or will it eventually download and be able to run?

I am unable to purchase the new Rommel Panzers. I have all the other Battle Academy campaigns. Do you have an expected time that it will be available?

I'm afraid we don't have a timeline as it is out of our control, but we are very hopeful it will be soon.

Why is apple always delaying DLCs anyway? Have you guys tried telling them ahead of time about this so it doesn't cause problems? Because this is 2 in a row and for the people not on the forums. You guys are getting frustrated customers who will write bad reviews on the app. It's bad for business and I hope it doesn't happen for the final DLC! But I'm sure a if you add an apology discount everything will be forgotten by your frustrated customers. Happened with Husky

In fairness both issues were caused at our end rather than Apple's.

Yes not only fun it's also VERY hard! You'd think with all these shiny new units things would be easy but nope! Right now I'm on "Holding the Fortress" and well the city fighting is absolutely brutal. I miss "Baptism of Fire" from Sicily! At least we had Self propelled artillery there.... This DLC is not for the feint of heart! Lol prepare yourself for its going to be brutal.

Anyone else feel a touch guilty playing the "Lone Tiger" scenario? It's good fun, but clearly based on the Michael Wittmann ambush where he wiped out an armoured column on his own! It was pretty much a massacre.

That is very strange. Please open a new thread in the BA Tech Support forum with more details on the issue and we can try to troubleshoot.

Is this in single player or multiplayer? Are you seeing this in all scenarios, is it only happening when playing Rommel scenarios? Does it happen every time? Is it happening when you click the Save button itself or when you open the options window to access the Save controls? Is it going directly to the Objective Failed message, or it is asking "Are you sure you want to surrender this battle?"
