JdB has informed us that Invasion 1944 has decided to close once and for all. Unless several miracles happen, the mod will not return.
As of the middle of 2005 we have not been able to recruit nearly as many new active addonmakers as we had hoped and needed in order to complete our projects. We had hoped that the release of Armed Assault would see a renewed interest in the subject of World War 2 from both addonmakers and players, however this proved to be a miscalculation on our part when planning the Wacht am Rhein project. A [survey] conducted by us has shown that there is still a large fanbase for this theme, so we would like to wish other WW2 mods the best of luck in realizing their plans.
We got requests from two teams a while ago to allow them to use the "Invasion 1944" name. Since we feel that this name is largely the ownership of former mod members such as (but not limited to) Marcel, Jojimbo and Ashkaban that have shaped the mod, unlike many others that have led us down over the years with nothing more than empty promises, we cannot allow anyone the usage of the name. OFP content can be used and/or converted without contacting us, as long as "Invasion 1944" is credited for the used items. Please do not ask us for any content other than what you've been given in the Oosterbeek Alpha release, we simply do not have anything else than what is included in that release.
We would like to thank everyone for their interest and support since the beginning of the Market Garden project, and on those projects started by team members before our personal participation in the mod. We do want to continue working on mods (not necessarily WW2 themed) for Armed Assault with a majority of the members we have left, probably by joining another mod, but as of yet we have no idea which mod this will be, we'll see where the future takes us.
