From their website:
We get many requests from people looking to begin AT-43, but want to know where to start. What are the different types of boxes? How do I configure a company? In this article, I will be describing the different types of product, and how they relate to each other.

May

In the latest edition of its Cry Havoc Online newsletter, Rackham has published some teaser background information for the upcoming AT-43 campaign Operation: Frostbite. It has also confirmed the cover artwork for the campaign set.
The teaser reads:
Élysée… A globe of ice swept by raging winds and scared by slow worming glaciers. Its temperate zone is tundra land where survival is a feat. Only a few sheltered valleys shroud in the warmth of hot springs, or some other climatic hiccup, have been colonized by Karman settlers who came to study an indigenous species intriguingly similar to theirs…
Operation Frostbite takes place on the ice covered planet of Élysée and stages a colorful military campaign. The Karmans, the Therians, the U.N.A., the Red Blok and each of their factions are all pursuing their own secret objectives. You´ll be getting battle maps, exclusive scenarios, new troops and new heroes for all the armies of AT-43.
Rendezvous in a few months for the launch of Operation Frostbite.
