As of today the forums are now closed.

Last post.

After nearly 5 years have decided to hang up my H&D hat, so the site and forum will be under new management from the middle/end of this month.

The only major difference will be to this site, Freewebs has a file limit for its free service so the site will have to be scaled down. At the moment only a few pages get many hits, the most visited like Walkthroughs etc will stay, after the changes in the next week or so there'll be quite a few pages unavailable.

The forums are staying the same, they've always been friendly and know they'll remain that way.

Thanks to everyone at Illusion Softworks, Take2/Gathering/Global Star. And everyone on the forums for (mostly ;) making it a great community to be part of.

PCIGN & Armchair Empire.

Armchair Empire's review is detailed but they weren't too impressed overall.

Another year almost over....

Hope everyone at illusion Softworks, Take2/Gathering/Global Star (esp those nice PR ppl ;) who donated the prizes) and everyone on the forums has a great Christmas & new year.

Warcry review and competition results.

The Beat the clock competition was won by BitesizeM203, VitamihnM203 and ZaakM433, each winning a very nice H&D2 watch, the remaining watches went to a worthy cause (hard working forum mods :))

There's a Sabre Squadron review on Warcry with a score of 7.5/10.

Demo released.

The combined "Sicily 2" single/multiplayer demo from PCGamer (see below) is now available to download, links via Bluesnews story.

Thanks to Skandaleare on the forums.

Utilities news.

Majordisaster has updated his H&D2 utilities page so they now work with the latest patch (1.12)

SS news.

The UK edition of PCGamer magazine has a Sabre Squadron demo (Sicily 2) on the DVD cover disc, and SS scored 75% in the review.

Thanks to Shell on the forums.

SS news.

Gamespots review is detailed but full of the usual complaints, and there's a Q&A on the H&D Community website.

Thanks to Jason on the forums.

SS walkthrough.

The Sabre Squadron Walkthrough page is finished, minus one optional objective in Libya 1 that I haven't figured out.

Patch news.

Two new patches are available which will mean everyone will be running the same version (these are from Take2's Italian site)

The first is if you dont have Sabre Squadron and are running H&D2 1.06, download it (123mb) here.

If you have Sabre Squadron installed there's a 22mb patch here.

Thanks to Sir Morville on the forums.
