Starting March 18th , Game Nights are going to be returning to the server at <t:1679158800:t>
This has been apart of my work to give more of a spotlight to the Multiplayer side of the HOI community ๐ and I've been working hard at setting some things up with a Host you may know, @gray kraken in order to make it as fun as possible.
The very first Game will be RP focused, and I will join in as the Propaganda master, making decals/propaganda/ funny declarations for everyone within the game on the fly.
If you are interested in taking part, make sure to sign up in the #1084825352821538896 channel before the 16th to claim a spot!
Have a great week~

For those on the edge who are unsure about what's in store, I've got more Intel for you~
The first Game Night is Scuffed 56 with modified RP rules, ensuring everyone gets to keep playing, but just to make sure everyone wanting to play should list 3 countries in their original comment they would enjoy playing, cutting down on people playing countries they don't enjoy.
That's it from me today, make sure you check out the channels, every week will have a different game, different mods and different hosts, making sure everyone gets a chance to play!
