2019 is starting off with a "BANG" as players abuse(?) the new Christmas Toys! The snow has melted and CRS has hit the roads by adding new towns - thanks to Merlin51. Who knew he worked in the construction industry, right??? Also in this report, a quick synopsis from XOOM's New Year Report, Campaign #159 reports, and a Squad highlight!
XOOM's New Year Report
We hope everyone has had the chance to read the report sent on December 31st. As most of you know, this past year was a milestone for CRS, especially the Christmas release, which was the biggest equipment patch this team has accomplished! All our team members have done an amazing job and overcome huge obstacles. That being said, 2019 is going to blow 2018 out of the water!
Terrain Updates Inbound
As with most of CRS members, the holidays did not slow down Merlin51 - our main terrain editor guru. We had mentioned extending the map previously and it is now getting into SCKING and the Quality Assurance Team's hands! A lot of blood, sweat, and tears have gone into the future terrain update and I think Merlin51 will be ready for a vacation after its release lol. The proposed patch includes many current "terrain" issues as well 
Holland - "Zee's" will have plenty of new Naval action with the many Deep Water Ports, two of them just across the channel from each other!
France is coming along nicely as well!
Thank you Merlin51 for all your hard work SALUTE!

About "The Lancers"
12th Royal Lancers is one of WWIIOL's best allied units, well known for their ability to dig in and hold the line in all but the deadliest of situations. Constantly challenging at the top of the Points and Map Movement tables, "The Lancers" are a major force to be reckoned with all across the map and they will gladly exploit any chink in the axis defences, both in town, and at the enemy's Forward Bases.
Their friendly rivalry with White Pudding Suppers (known simply as WHIPS) occasionally becomes that of an alliance, transforming them into the most potent fighting force the game has ever seen.
Their motto is simple: Death or Glory.
Do YOU have what it takes to become a Lancer? Enlist now!
