==Overview==
Ham and Jam is a teamplay orientated, first person WW2 mutliplayer game centred around the British and Commonwealth campaigns from 1939-45. Historically accurate missions coupled with careful balance between realistic and enjoyable gameplay makes Ham and Jam a unique experience.
==Features==
* '''Commonwealth vs. Axis forces''' - Britain, Canada, Poland, Australia and other Free armies vs. both German and Italian armies.
* '''Objective based, historically accurate missions''' - Actual WWII battles and operations re-created with the same objectives. No random capture-the-flag gameplay.
* '''Teamwork orientated''' - Objectives that require more than one player to complete. Points and rewards are only given for completing mission goals.
* '''Realistic yet un-complicated''' - Realistic limits on movement and weapon characteristics but not at the sake of gameplay.
==History==
Ham and Jam started out as an idea between it's two main developers as an alternative to the tired old "U.S./Russia vs. Germany, post June 6th 1944" formulae WW2 games seem to use. Fed-up with everything prior to D-Day being ignored, the North West Europe theatre and the lack of British, Commonwealth and Free Forces they decided to do something about it...
The goal was clear - to make a WW2 mod that featured all the "missing" bits of WW2 history, portray it in a historically accurate way but without detracting from the fun or playability by overdoing realism. In short the kind of game they and their friends would like to play. Rather than a deathmatch gameplay style, Ham and Jam is all about teamwork as were the real battles. Each map is set-out with objectives and as a team you must fight to complete them to win.
==Team==
From the start, Ham and Jam has had an interesting development ethos. First of all, there is no real "team", only a few core "leaders" and everyone else is a contributor free to add whatever they like. There is no commitment to the mod full time - you can choose to work on it for a month, a week or simply donate a few textures and leave, it's entirely up to you.
