Radioactive-Software - dgreen02 is back after being absent more than not from posting updates on his game Gettysburg: Armored Warfare, but let's go easy on him for being pretty much The Guy behind the entire project! He updates about the game's 64-player online capacity, integration with Steam stats and his trip to Sweden for his publisher's game press conference
