Steel Division: Normandy 44

developed by Eugen/Paradox seems a nice mix of close combat, wargame and possibly company of heroes. worth checking out.

that is all.

Best regards,
Mike.

I am just about to buy this one. Was a fan of Wargame even though I was terrible at it, but this seems like it is slower paced and a bit easier, so I'm gonna try it out.

Historical accuracy obviously not a priority...

Stukas in Normandy...

Pz Mk III's... (very few if any)

But no doubt a fun arcade game.

I really like the Wargame series it was very detailed and I receive an Eugen email about this game a few month back I put it on my Steam basket and forgot about it. Thanks for reminding me it's downloading right now

No worries! Got it yesterday didn't get a chance to play for long but from what I've seen it's got lots of potential.

As far as historical accuracy, obviously some liberties were taken but for instance I didn't see any Ju87 or Pz III in the panzer division composition. Just IVH, J's and JU88.

What's more important is the general realism of the battlefield with realistic movement (maybe a tad too fast at default), realistic ranges, etc.

Btw buzz if you're into eastern front at all, check out Graviteam Mius Front - dev's are obsessed with historical accuracy, very good game though!

I've purchased it. Like Eugen's work on Wargame. Realism seems pretty on point, and I like the fact there's no hit points like Wargame. It's hard, still playing against medium AI but I'm improving slowly. Looking forward to further divisions being released. One plus is is a bit easier making a deck than in Wargame. Should be good, hopefully the community will be less L2P than it was in Wargame. Learning curve online is almost as steep as CLOD!

Just purchased it. I beat the Germans on easy as the Scottish division, but when I played as the Germans against the Scots on Medium AI I got destroyed! I have a bit of work to do I guess. It is a very fun game though!

Big step up from Easy to Medium. Get online, I think you learn more. It's like CloD, steep learning curve and you'll get beaten loads. Just got to keep going back to it!

Game is fully released now. It's still very tricky for me but I'm improving. Can't wait to try all the divisions in the full release, like the 3rd Canadians and the Panzer-Lehr. Also the singleplayer campaigns look really fun.

Flare if you want to go online 2v2 sometime, drop me a message, it would be much easier coordinating things with TS.

I've played few hours. It resembles RUSE a bit.
