From the Press Release
Wargame AirLand Battle, the sequel to the impressive strategy game, Wargame European Escalation from Eugen Systems, reveals today a series of three new screenshots! These screenshots unveil some of the many new features of the game, such as the integration of air forces with a huge fleet of more than 150 crafts of all kinds, as well as more than 200 new ground-based combat units and vehicles.
These screenshots are also a testimony of the improvements made to the new version of the IRISZOOM Engine. From afar and up-close, the powerful engine displays even more detailed graphics, and, for the first time, realistic images directly reproduced from satellite images. This only represents a small fraction of all the content offered by Wargame AirLand Battle, with more to be unveiled in the weeks and months to come.
Wargame European Escalation players have not been forgotten either! Today, a 3rd free DLC will be available! Named ‘COMMANDER’, this new, entirely free DLC first offers a new game mode, ‘Economy’, available in both single and multiplayer. To earn victory in this mode, you will have to make hard choices: continue your march toward victory by saving up command points, or spend them to replace your losses and defend your territory! In addition to the Economy mode, two new maps are now available for Destruction, Conquest and Economy modes. On these rugged maps, hilly regions provide a serious height advantage with many ambush opportunities. For even more varied battles, the map ‘Storm Eye’ is now playable in Alamo mode, while the maps Fulda Gap and River of Blood are available for Conquest mode.
And if that's not enough to reawaken the sleeping commanders inside players, Wargame European Escalation is also 66% off on Steam! This exceptional offer begins today and lasts until Thursday September 27th! This is the perfect occasion for every potential Wargamer to step forward and experience this exceptional real-time strategy game!
About Wargame AirLand Battle
Released in early 2012, Wargame: European Escalation by Eugen Systems managed to become the new benchmark in real-time strategy games, praised by critics and players alike. Wargame: AirLand Battle is about to bring the series to the next level as a full-fledged sequel!
Between 1975 and 1985, war between NATO and the Warsaw Pact is still raging, reaching Northern Europe, notably Scandinavia, whose architecture magnificent landscapes are faithfully recreated in the game. While the first Wargame made quite an impression with its powerful engine, Wargame: AirLand Battle is making a huge leap forward with its visuals, bringing a level of detail never before seen in a real-time strategy game. Flat relief and lack of variety is now a thing of the past, as the new version of the IRISZOOM Engine(tm) displays spectacular graphics, with a huge variety of units, scenery and impressive topography reproduced from satellite maps.
Command all the military resources of the Cold War era, from tanks to planes which make an outstanding entrance in the series! A total of 150 planes strengthen the playable arsenal of the game, from fighters to bombers to electronic warfare planes. Four new nations and their vehicles join the original eight from the first game, making a total of over 750 vehicles and combat units rendered in realistic detail with new textures! In Wargame: AirLand Battle, realism is also strengthened thanks to a new weapons system, better handling of fire and its effects, and a new Urban Combat Interface (UCI) allowing for battle inside cities block by block to take them over.
The solo part of the game is composed of several new dynamic campaigns, during which you will manage all aspects of the battle. Lead each squad of the Theatre of Operation, and make good use of your reinforcements and strategic support. Each decision you make has an impact on the tactical outcome of battles, and also impacts the evolution of the global conflict! Wargame: AirLand Battle still allows you to customize your own army in solo and multiplayer modes, thanks to the 'Deck' system, which is now being enhanced with an integrated 'viewer'.
