Attention soldiers!

A major new update for Dino D-Day is in the offing and you need to know how to prepare for the dinosaur army’s newest additions. First up, the Compsognathus. Back in the late Jurassic the Compy roamed tropical forests in search of small lizards and insects on a strip of land near the Tethys Sea…in what is today Germany and France. Now though, he’s been given a mission…courtesy of Adolf Hitler. The Compy’s Nazi masters have fitted him with a small harness holding a single stick grenade. He’s been trained to seek out Allied troops, claw them to death if he can and detonate his explosives as a last resort. Its the Fuhrer’s most diabolical blitzkrieg tactic yet!

Next up, the Microraptor. The Microraptor lived in what is now China in the early Cretaceous. It’s been described as a four-winged dinosaur – with feathers on its wings and arms. From a running start the Microraptor can leap into the air, flap its wings and fly long distances. From his vantage point over the battlefield the Microraptor can swoop in on unsuspecting prey and take them down with vicious toe claw attacks. The Microraptor can also cling to virtually any surface – wall or ceiling. Watch an Allied soldier enter the room from the ceiling, drop in behind him and take him out before he suspects a thing. Lastly, the Microraptor has a poison spit attack which will scorch any enemy it hits. If you hit them in the eyes the poison will blind them, slowly eating away their life force until they drop dead on the battlefield! The Fuhrer will giggle with delight when he hears of your exploits!

To combat these new threats, the Allies will need some new weaponry. First up, the mighty Flamethrower! If you’re being harassed by flocks of disgusting dinosaur vermin equip a flamethrower and burn them out. Fire is the best defense against small dinosaurs. The Flamethrower is an alternate loadout for Nigel and replaces the PIAT. But don’t worry, once you’ve burned out all the little dinosaurs you can switch back to the PIAT to deal with their larger brethren.

Hardgrave has also been given an M1 Carbine as an alternate weapon for those who like their M1s with 15 round magazines and mid-clip reloads. But you’ll lose a little bit of the muzzle velocity that makes the Garand the greatest weapon of WW2. Joe has been given a Grease Gun as an alternate for his Thompson. The rate of fire is a little slower but the rounds do a bit more damage.

With all these new toys to play with you’ll need a new playground! The warring armies have moved further into Sicily, encamped around the small town of Troina in the foothills surrounding Mt. Etna. There are five strategic points that must be captured and controlled in order to take the town.

The Troina update for Dino D-Day is imminent! We will ship all of this sometime in the next two weeks…perhaps as early as October 21! Mark your calenders!
