The final Darkest Hour 8.0 Alpha Test in October 1st, 2017
I think only two or three maps were played in this event. First we played Nuenen (in Advance mode) by Razorneck. After that was time for La Cambe. That too was in the new Advance mode. Apparently in that new game mode there's no fixed time when the map ends. I guess it ends when other team captures the last objective, or they run out of tickets.
DH 8.0 has that new squad system. A squad can have eight players including one leader (SL). Players aren't forced to join squads but being a members of one gives some advantages. Squad leader should be able to change the name of his squad, so if it's initially something like "Anton", "Caesar" or "Dora", it can be changed to "dirtybirdy" for example. Members of a squad can represent different classes, so the "dirtybirdy" squad can consist of:
Acer = Strosstruppe (Storm trooper)
Race_more_now = Panzerjäger (Tank hunter)
dirtybirdy = Artilleriebeobachter (Artillery observer)
Bluedick = Panzerbesatzung (Tank crew)
rolandonmik = Schütze (Rifleman)
cleanbirdy = Panzerjäger (Tank hunter)
Ari = Schütze (Rifleman)
Catinahat = Schütze (Rifleman)
