As the title said, I've not abandoned the mod. Yes, I did take a bit of an extended break over Christmas, but I've already started private beta testing with the next version cycle. And to prove I've done some work on the mod over the Christmas and New Year period, here's some screenshots of the changes to the mod:
The Soviet Battle Jeep. This replaces the Scout Tank for the Soviet countries.
A squad of Mextli Gunners. These minigun-armed units replace the Elite Corps for the Antarctic Legion.
Shift Tanks. These Neutron Cannon-armed units replace the Italian Rocket Tank.
The new background on the Battlefield Select screen. It's a bit of an edit on a file photo of Abrams Tanks in Iraq.
The mod's not dead yet.

I've not left yet!
Beta 2.1
I've just uploaded the next update onto the server. This is the 1.10 conversion that was previously polled in the forums. Sorry about the delay for such a relatively simple update, but I've been away a lot recently.
Anyway, as before, the update comes in two flavours: cumulative and incremental. Both updates contain RockPatch 1.10 #0036, and both contain the fixes to make the mod work with 1.10.
Download the cumulative update only if you have the original Beta 2 files, and no updates.
If you've been using Beta 2.0c, download the incremental update. If you're using Beta 2.0b, I'd advise downloading the 2.0c incremental version, then the 2.1 incremental version.
Not much has been done with this update, considering most bugs so far have been to do with users not having some of the mod files. It's mostly a graphical update, containing the score screen for the Future Forces.
To install, make sure you know which version you need (cumulative or incremental), download, and unzip the files to your RA2 directory. Make sure you run the RockPatch installation file before playing the mod, especially if you're still using RPCE. If you're using the NPatch, uninstall it before installing the RockPatch.
You can grab the updates here, or head to the website and get them from the downloads page.
Cumulative Update (contains all fixes from Beta 2.0b, 2.0c and 2.1): Download
Incremental Update (only contains the Beta 2.1 fixes): Download.
Have fun.
Nighthawk.
New website, and Update 2.0c
As you can see, if you're reading this on the site, I've changed the design, again.
This time, it's using an actual design template, rather than something I cooked up in FrontPage with some tables and layers.
As well as the new site, I've uploaded the next bugfix patch to the server. There are two different versions you can download, an incremental one, and a cumulative one. If you installed the last update, then go for the incremental one, but if you haven't installed the update, go for the cumulative one - it contains 2.0b as well.
Remember, post any bugs in the topic entitled 'The Bug Thread' in the forums.
Please download and enjoy.
Nighthawk.
Later Update: There is a missing file from both the incremental and cumulative updates. Please download the file 'expandmd40.zip' from post #7 of this thread for the mod to work correctly.
Beta Testing
It may be a year later than originally planned, but I'm now looking for people to beta test this version of the mod, this includes the Future Forces side and all other additions to the Allies, Soviets and Yuri.
If you want to be a beta tester, please first read this topic. Then send me a PM if you can meet the requirements there.
Yuri Database Retrieved
Commander. A recent storm of a Yuri staging area in the East Pacific has yielded a wealth of data on his new Legions. You can view the data on this page.
We will update our database with the unit information shortly.
