[Grimnir]

For those interested in that kind of thing, here are som reviews for Steel Division: http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/steel-division-normandy-44

Overall it seems to be well recieved. Well done Eugen and Paradox.

Love the game and its potential, game mod and balance need some tweaking, but there's so much potential........gladly support all the DLCs if not too expensive.


(for me, I'm patiently waiting for the epic eastern front sequel)

It might be too early to hope for a sequel, but the Eastern Front in summer 1944 would be a great expandalone. Set its campaigns during Operation Bagration. You could have some more Ostfront German divisions and Soviet divisions, and have them follow a similar timeframe for equipment as used for SD Normandy 44. I'd like to see Africa 42-43 or even France '40, but those settings could not be balanced against the '44 units so would require its own game, which probably isn't feasible.

I have to say - despite being one of the Grognards who'd grumble about how the Wiberlwind's in-game model is historically inaccurate and having to deal with annoying matchmaking - I feel this is probably the best World War 2 strategy game in the market now.

The system is what really sells it. It actually looks and plays as though you're reading a book on actual Normandy battles.

I, on the other hand, would be shocked if there was no sequel.

Depends on the sales numbers.

While having some issues, this is the game i enjoy the most since a VERY long time. Looking all the way back when i was playing Red Alert on my first PC.

You did a great job and i´m really looking forward to play for years to come.
But as with Wargame i´m quite shocked how many of my friends (the ones who are playing RTS games) don´t even konw the title.
Hopefully that changes with some more good reviews and the mouth propaganda we all should spread.

Agreed, both the Wargame-series and Steel Division need some more exposure. I only learned about Wargame:EE by accident, but after the entire series has become one of my favourites.

Same here. I actually even dismissed W:EE the first time because the trailers made it look like an arcady CoH type game. Thankfully I somehow ended up watching some gameplay vids later on.
