July Tunis Telegraph

Mare Nostrum is a modification for Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45 being developed by Sandstorm Productions, which formed in July 2006 upon the merger of the Burning Sands and Campagna Italiana mod teams. Since the union the team has gone from strength to strength and produced the first public beta version of Mare Nostrum in March 2008.
Mare Nostrum expands upon Red Orchestra by including the Mediterranean theatre of war along with the equipment of the Afrika Korps, Royal Italian Army and the British Commonwealth. Locations will be as varied as North Africa, Italy and Crete, so whether you like close quarter street fighting in Rome, beach invasions in Sicily or tank battles in the deserts of Libya, Mare Nostrum has got something for you!
In the Press
Mare Nostrum has enjoyed wide ranging media exposure and was voted into the top 100 unreleased mods in the ModDB 2007 Mod of the Year awards.
Mare Nostrum has also been featured on Gamepsy, AMD GAME! and IGN.

Hello Mare Nostrum fans, time for another Tunis Telegraph! As we draw ever closer to Open Beta 1.3 we thought it was time we revealed the second half of our content to be included. Last time we showcased our new armoured vehicles, in this month we reveal the first shots of our brand new Italian content, including our player model, Carcano M91 and MAB 38A.
We also have news on the British 2-Inch Mortar, QF 2 Pounder AT gun and the Enfield No.2 MKI* revolver, which further expands the allied weaponry. However with all this new content we need something to play it in and so I have some sneaky peaks of our lastest map, created by myself (Psycho Sam), Sidi Barrani.
For a full list of the content that will be included in OB 1.3 make sure you check out the Tunis Telegraph. Also why not add us to your watched mods list. Now everytime you visit you will be alerted of any new images, downloads or news from us, so you never need miss anything again!

Our newspaper is back with a vengance after an extended absence! This time we highlight some of the armoured vehicles that are due to hit the deserts...
Full installer. If you have an existing Mare Nostrum install remove it via the Add/Remove programs option. Failing that delete your Mare Nostrum folder....
Server files for 1.1 Upload to your server and overwrite the old files! Note that these will not work client side!
The last set of server files included a map which crashed servers. This is an updated server file download. Note that these will not work client side!

I had to vote low on this as the mod really isn't all that much content driven. RO allows for so much freedom when it comes to these total conversions and Mare Nostrum really let me down.
I'd like to see work done on the existing British and the adding of Americans in Africa before they start tossing out Italian content. There's so much more that can be done with the African Campaign that it always seems to be looked over or passed by in every game that features it.
I'm just overall disappointed and I expected more (there's only 4 or 5 servers running this mod and no one ever plays it). When I have played Mare Nostrum it's like playing Day of Defeat: Source with more realism (small Infantry based maps, little to no vehicles). I'll keep watching this mod but I've really stopped holding my breath.
This mod looks just awesome, but I want to know if I can still play my original Red Orchestra, if when installed will this mod takeover my game, or will it have a separate launcher?
It will have a seperate launcher, of course.
No don't worry you can still play RO, MN uses its own launcher.
I play this all the time! and i knew this mod will never die!
New media up in the gallery :)
We are aiming for June 30th.
When next update was relased??
Congratulations to the whole team! Now we will have to push the line further and make the mod of the year! ;)
Almost there. Great job all
