In case you haven’t heard, the newest version of Darkest Hour: Europe ‘44-‘45 has just been released on Steam. As one of its largest communities, we’re happy to pronounce that it is the most realistic World War II first-person shooter on the market! Just as many other clans and units are beginning their transition to the game, I have come to offer the 29th Infantry Division’s support should you join these clans and units in moving forward.
For those of you who haven’t tried it yet, Darkest Hour consists of:
• Realistic Infantry Combat • Realistic Tank Warfare • Massive 200 sq. km. Levels • Para-dropping/Airborne landings • Various Transport Vehicles/APCs • Squad-based Combat & Proximity-based Communication • Live the D-Day Invasion of several beaches • 64 Player Server Capacity • Controllable Artillery Strikes • Amazing Graphics
There’s so much more. The new mouth-watering trailer speaks for itself – definitely check it out. We’ve also put together a short page on our own elaborating on these features.
Darkest Hour is built on the game Red Orchestra, which is a similar game between the Soviet and German armies. Darkest Hour is free, but in order to play it, you must have Red Orchestra installed. Normally Red Orchestra costs fifteen dollars through Steam, but it is on sale until Monday 15 June to promote the release of DH.
That means that if you get RO before Monday, it will only be $4.99 – you can then download DH through Steam (it’s free). As far as I’m concerned, five bucks for two games is one hell of a deal. We made our transition a year ago during a $4.99 sale as well - Our members saved a lot of money this way.
Just as the 29th Infantry Division made the transition from Day of Defeat to Darkest Hour last August, we would like to invite your community to do the same. Of course there are significant hurdles in bringing an entire community to another game – we moved with over 130 members, so trust me we have been through all of them I would like to offer our support in helping your community counter these hurdles, whether they be questions, technical issues, adjusting to the game, or anything else we can help with.
As the largest unit in Darkest Hour, we hereby welcome your community to join us in the future of realistic gaming. Please reply with any questions and comments and I will do my best to answer them as quickly as I can.
So while it’s still on sale:

I might be a bit wrong with the exact meaning of 'make the transition'.. but am I right when I think that means: leave RnL for what it is, and move over to RO?
If that's what it says, then I'm afraid you won't get any 'yes' for an answer
I have discussed perhaps moving a small squad into DH, but I find RO and the mods in general Jynx any clan or unit I'm in, in the sense that we lost half of our members during the transition and then a couple of months later we struggle to hold out in the game.
I may consider allowing a small 6th AB squad to go into DH, but that's something to plan for the future as I wouldn't be able to finance both the site, the ventrillo, and 2 servers.
Bates [6th AB] On Leave: Hey mate, it's me Stuka. Sorry about everything last time, I realised how much of a prick I was, shits happened since then so I've changed. Really sorry.
Eagle: It's okay bruv hows the clan?
Bates [6th AB] On Leave: Ye good, so you still a fat prick?
Yeah, RO as a jynx is pretty true, tis how the 22nd was born haha.
I think we should just stick to RNL, has so much promise and will no doubt be released on steam in the next year giving it a huge increase in players. Patience is a virtue. “World War II was the second world war in the world”

But no question about leaving RnL, the Infantry combat is better alone than DH (teamwork wise). Although I will play DH on the side as I like the tank and infantry style. 6th Airborne Division 2nd Section "Screamin Budgies" Section Leader
Completely agree with Wriggaz and Guns, RnL is justc class. End of. No arguement. No discussion
Also i'm attempting to sign up for the beta program, hopefully they'll let me hehe. Though chances are no doubt slim as i bet everyones applying. “World War II was the second world war in the world”
They need 25 testers, your already registered and have been on their forums a while, you'll get in easy.
