Concerning the "assemble your reward" bug:

Some of those who took part in the WW2 Chronicles marathon might have faced a specific bug after completing the 'Assemble your own reward" Special tasks. After reaching the 4th stage (400,000 special tasks completed), some players received a coupon with a specific vehicle instead of a blueprint by a mistake.

We are very sorry for the inconvenience and we are working to fix the bug. The blueprints are already available as well as the possibility to assemble items from the received parts as well as selling Coupons (which you received after this publication) on the Market. We will make an additional announcement about the coupons that the players received on the 4th of May during this week. The coupons are restricted for selling at the moment, but you may still use your coupons to receive the desired vehicles. We are really sorry for all the inconvenience once again, Stay tuned.
