    ... is now out:

    BattleGroup42 Mod for Battlefield 1942
    ======================================

    This is Beta Release 0.95 of BattleGroup42. It requires 0.9 to already
    be installed, and is intended for Battlefield 1942 version 1.5.

    It has the following gameplay changes:
    - All tanks and anti-tank guns now have a fixed (low-power) zoom
    - Heavy tanks have gunsights
    - APCs have lowered MG positions and use ironsights
    - Jagdpanther tank destroyer has high-powered (x2.5) zoom in second,
    gunner's position
    - Infantry small-arms, MGs and bazookas have increased damage
    - Aircraft power has been rebalanced
    - Tank projectiles have reduced damage against armour greater than they
    could penetrate in real life

    Despite the small version number change, 0.95 is a major update that
    largely completes our ambition with 0.9 to 'redefine the battlefield' -
    specifically to have all appropriate maps having all the right vehicles
    for all the nationalities featured. With 0.95 (including 0.9) the
    following maps are featured (the 5 new maps in 0.95 marked with an
    asterisk, *):

    1) 4104-Karst by Amaccann (with bot support)
    2) 4105-Operation_Mercury
