The beta will be out as soon as I sort the major bugs. I've got an acceptable map_F.tga at last (so 'excellent' users can get more than a dusty horizon), three airfields have been rebuilt entirely to improve visuals, and most of the visual glitches are seen to. The new textures are now bump-mapped. What it won't have is a complete road/rail network or fully detailed landscape. Most towns/villages have no objects whatsoever, nor are many of the strategic points of interest present yet.

The purpose of releasing a beta is to obtain feedback from you guys so the finished map will benefit. I'm glad to see you're keen to get going on it, just bear in mind it isn't as 'campaign-ready' as the finished map will be.
