Shifting Sands

Description



Shifting Sands aims to bring the battles of the North African campaign to Post Scriptum. The project began in the summer of 2020, and has grown massively since then.

Our team is made up of members from around the world and across the PS community. We want to bring one of the most dynamic and under-represented theatres of the Second World War to Post Scriptum, to provide a completely different and unique game-play experience. It is our hope that the player will be immersed in the harsh realities of desert warfare, from the perils of mechanised pushes over open terrain, to close quarter fighting in entrenched positions.

New Factions
Be ready to fight in unique divisions from the British Commonwealth, Deutsches Afrikakorps, and Regio Esercito, including the 9th (Australian) Division, 7th Armoured Division, 15th Panzer Division, and the Ariete Division.

All of our factions have unique historically accurate uniforms, insignia, and design, to bring a colourful variety to the battlefield.



New Maps
We strive to make historically accurate battlefields and locations to provide an authentic experience on our maps. To that end we have done painstaking research into the topography, geology, climate, and flora of the areas you will be fighting over. Using both historical photographs and the modern day technology at our disposal, our map designers have been able to recreate the environment of the Western Desert campaign like never before.

Our first two maps will include Hill 209: a high point on the perimeter of the Tobruk siege frontline, and Bardia: a coastal town overlooking rugged terrain on the Via Balbia.


Kick up some dust in our new vehicles, including the iconic Crusader, Valentine, and Cruiser tanks of the British 8th Army, and the agile Panzer I of Rommel's Afrika Korps! Additional vehicles are already being worked on, and as Post Scriptum updates vanilla vehicles from the armoured overhaul, these will also be added.

All vanilla PS vehicles have new textures to represent the theatre and the units fighting.

New Weapons
We have added a host of new weapons suitable for the 1941 period of the campaign, including the Thompson M1928A1, Bren Mk. I, and MP38/40, as well as a number of new grenades and explosives to counter enemy vehicles!

Features
  • Different game modes on all our maps including armoured, offensive, and skirmish.

  • New lighting and weather conditions.

  • New Logistic emplacements to fortify and defend your sectors.

  • New equipment for infantry to use to gain a tactical advantage on the field.

  • New textures on vanilla Post Scriptum assets so they blend in to the environment.

absolutely infuriating how the servers are run in this game , SO many beautiful maps both custom and official and it seems that only 3 bridge maps are played 24 / 7 , would love to try this mod but we are at the mercy of the servers admins i guess

I agree with Igormsh; could someone host this mod please? I play PS about twice a week and would love to try this and PSRM.

North Africa is the best WW2 setting. Why is this not official content?
