See you on the battlefield, commander!Steel Division 2 - Death on the Vistula Aces Detailed and New Units HighlightedOct 15, 2019 - Community AnnouncementsHello commander! So exciting! The release of our very-first Steel Division 2 History DLC, Death on the Vistula, is just around the corner. This coming Thursday, October 17th, you can get your hands on four new divisions, a gigantic new Army General campaign, four new Historical Battles, two new Aces, and over 200 new units. If you haven’t, get the Death on the Vistula DLC now! https://store.steampowered.com/app/988171/Steel_Division_2__History_Pass/ As part of this DLC, together with the new units, we’ll also be releasing two new Aces. In today’s article, we’ll take a closer look at these historical figures (and vehicles). New AcesIn case you forgot: Aces are unique units that don’t feature any kind of gameplay or statistical advantage. They look badass, but play exactly the same! Karl Nicolussi-Leck The new Axis Ace is the tank commander Karl Nicolussi-Leck with his Panther A. He managed to single-handedly break through an enemy encirclement during the battle of Kovel as part of the 5. SS-Panzerdivision “Wiking”. Disregarding a direct order to withdraw, Nicolussi-Leck kept up the attack, destroying several Soviet tanks, and ultimately reached the besieged troops. The trapped forces escaped with most of their heavy equipment intact, which later earned Nicolussi-Leck the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross for his actions. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33563925/0b56a924687435e50f37d5621e4483bfc2316c96.jpg The “Chwat” Jagdpanzer 38(t) The Allied Ace is not a person but a tank! The “Chwat”, which means “Daredevil” in Polish, was a Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer tank captured by the Armia Krajowa - the Home Army - during the opening days of the Warsaw Uprising. After some hasty repairs, they used the diminutive tank destroyer against the German forces in the ensuing street battles. It did not survive the war - save for a discarded road wheel - but proved its value for the brief time it served the brave fighting Poles. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33563925/6a71f9f91b95e6e01e54c0e33199e06908f01a70.jpg Over 200 new unitsThe Death on the Vistula DLC will also bring over 200 new units. We want to highlight several of the more unique vehicles you’ll be able to command. Sturmtiger The mighty Sturmtiger, a beast of a machine firing 380mm rocket-propelled rounds, was a rare heavy assault gun designed to provide offensive fire support in built-up areas. Only during the Warsaw Uprising was this vehicle actual employed as intended, when a handful of Sturmtiger, including the original prototype, attacked urban fortifications. The Sturmtiger can be found with the new Fallschirm-Panzerdivision “Hermann Göring”. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33563925/4b4e78c44e6d0306679579b58d2e1364a6254b34.gif Bergepanther The Bergepanther, an armored recovery vehicle based on the Panther medium tank, was used to retrieve disabled tanks on the battlefield. As the war progressed, the German High Command realized they needed a new vehicle powerful enough to recover the heavy tanks (Tiger, Panther, etc.) still salvageable aft...Steel Division 2: Upcoming Free Reinforcement Pack Maps DetailedOct 10, 2019 - Community AnnouncementsHello commander! Alongside the launch of the Death on the Vistula DLC on the 17th of October, we’ll also be releasing free Reinforcement Pack for all our Steel Division 2 players. These packs will individually contain a bunch of shiny new things, foremost the new Smart Orders mechanic, as well as in-depth tutorials for both the Army General and the tactical game and two new soundtracks. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33563925/a313a6dcae2cfca61ab3d1908fc7e849eb99c441.jpg But that’s not all: the Reinforcement Packs will also contain three new maps. They come in different sizes and allow for 1v1, 2v2, and 4v4 player counts (solo, cooperative and online multiplayer). All three take place in the eastern territories of occupied Poland, and will feature in the new Historical Battles of the Death on the Vistula DLC. In today’s article, we’ll look at the new maps in detail: Brest West, Zbuczy and Gora Kalwaria. Brest West {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33563925/01591358750d8ac308403ccffb7d19d674501c28.gif As the name implies, this map represents the countryside to the west of Brest, a former Polish city close to the Belarussian border. Most history buffs might recognize Brest as the place where the Treaty of Brest-Litowsk was signed, which signaled the end of Russia’s participation in World War 1. Also well-known is the 19th-century fortress located nearby, which under Soviet control held out against the Wehrmacht for six days at the start of Operation Barbarossa. Steel Division 2 focuses on the Red Army’s massive strategic campaign, Operation Bagration, which took hold of the region three years later. Brest lay right on the path of the 1st Belorussian front as they advanced towards Warsaw and the Vistula river. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33563925/0a24bab7b135a917ca6b18e82f83a964972e5a9f.jpg Brest West is a 2v2 map which can also be played in 1v1 mode. A river crosses the battlefield with large plateaus influencing the waterway’s course. There are two distinct environments that will influence a player’s style of fighting. Running the length of the river, a village provides a welcome level of cover for your infantry and allows for some intense close combat assaults. The second environment comprises of various low-level plateaus that rise above several open plains. This terrain supports long-range engagements. The hills provide plenty of cover, obstructing sightlines, and allow a player to sneak up vehicles and tanks using the ridges and hillsides. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33563925/dddc3b8fde6c73c08ecda2966a64ce222dd5e158.jpg Battlegroups based on mechanized and armored divisions will find themselves most at ease on Brest West. Infantry needs to watch out - charging across the open terrain on this map is not recommendable! Zbuczy {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33563925/87cde023bd97e238c63a5b739b1da9460bfa3f6c.gif The second map carries the name Zbuczyn and will be playable both in 2v2 mode and 1v1. As an asymmetrical map, dense forests and various hills surround a small village at the heart of the battlefi...Steel Division 2: Death on the Vistula - New Axis and Allied Divisions DetailedOct 4, 2019 - Community AnnouncementsHello there! In today’s post, we’ll be taking an in-depth look at the four new divisions which will launch with the first History Pack, the Death on the Vistula DLC, on October 17th. https://store.steampowered.com/app/988171/Steel_Division_2__History_Pass/ On the Axis side, let’s welcome to the stage the veteran foreign volunteers of the 5. SS-Panzerdivision “Wiking” and the experienced Luftwaffe soldiers of the Fallschirm-Panzerdivision “Hermann Göring”. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33563925/441dad4aa5fceb19f13106ba4eac6b34dd4cea6a.jpg On the Allied side, we have the brave fighting Poles of the Armia Krajowa, the clandestine military army in occupied Poland, as well as the Soviet-controlled 1st Polish “Tadeusza Kościuszki” Infantry Division. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33563925/eca63fae5c408efba3d205b69ad13e986c2b873f.jpg The two Axis and two Allied divisions are unlike anything you’ve seen in Steel Division 2 so far, bringing over 200 new units to the battlefield. The Axis The 5. SS-Panzerdivision “Wiking” A powerful armored formation, the 5. SS-Panzerdivision “Wiking” was one of the first major reinforcements to arrive on the Polish front. It lacks the state-of-the-art tanks (Tiger E’s and Panther G’s) from its Heer counterpart, the 5. Panzer, but makes up this disadvantage by the large amount of infantry and a substantial number of medium tanks at the player’s disposal, including StuG IV’s and Beute T-34/85’s. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33563925/8a88c8412f6896aecf882ae28a95221ba1d574c3.jpg An interesting new unit available to the “Wiking” is the Bergepanther, which can be deployed on the battlefield as a heavy prime mover. The division also features one of the newest variants of the Fw 190 fighter: the capable, long-nosed Fw 190 D-9. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33563925/b2bcdd43245d29a30d5512772db61ea13964391c.jpg The 5. SS-Panzerdivision “Wiking” allows you to create a very resilient battlegroup, with enough offensive power to lead on the attack, while being equally effective in defensive situations. Fallschirm-Panzerdivision “Hermann Göring” As a military formation, the Fallschirm-Panzerdivision “Hermann Göring” occupied a rather unusual place, being an armored paratroop division of the aerial warfare branch, the Luftwaffe. This elite division fought well on various fronts before being ordered with haste to reestablish a coherent frontline around Warsaw. Once in Poland, the “Hermann Göring” took control of various subordinate formations and troops already present. This is represented in Steel Division 2 by the division’s ability to deploy some rather special units. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33563925/f8d137d5c08e0785c89ceb8aa6042640352e5458.jpg For instance, while lacking newer tanks, the “Hermann Göring” fields not only a large number of armored personnel carriers compared to a regular German division, but also features a sizable number of anti-aircraft guns, either stationary or self-propelled. Some more peculiar vehicles available in this division are the prototype Sturmtiger, the...Steel Division 2 - Smart Orders ExplainedOct 2, 2019 - Community AnnouncementsWelcome back! Today we will be diving deep into an exciting new Steel Division 2 feature the Eugen team has been working on during the summer: Smart Orders. Smart Orders will be made available to all players and launch alongside the upcoming Death on the Vistula DLC on the 17th of October. https://store.steampowered.com/app/988171/Steel_Division_2__History_Pass/ Smart Orders is a new tactical player tool in Steel Division 2 which offloads certain aspects of unit micromanagement to the computer. It means that you can select a group of units, give them a Smart Order, and watch as the AI takes over and, while taking into account various tactical elements, execute the order. A neat new feature, no? Of course, there is a whole lot more to it. So, without further ado, let’s take a closer look at what Smart Orders are, and how they can help you command your troops more efficiently on the battlefield. How does it work? Smart Orders come as a new information panel in the tactical interface, above the standard unit controls. They are essentially automated commands you can give to a group of units, such as “take this hill” or “defend this position”, which they will then try to follow on their own initiative. Smart Orders can be used (or not) in perfect harmony with the more detailed and precise unit controls already available in Steel Division 2. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33563925/2ca6620f0436b82306d68aba4904767754e8a764.jpg It is an excellent way to have the computer take control over a part of the battlefield, such as a flank or providing counter-battery fire, while you are concentrating on more important sectors of the frontline. You pick the units, give them a Smart Order, and let the AI do the rest. The computer will carry out the command, stringing together various tactical considerations into one overarching automated order that is continuously updated until the objective is reached. For instance, the AI will take into account the group’s composition and number of units, the surrounding terrain, the cover available, if there are roads which can be used for fast movement, visible enemy units, their relative strength, and more. You can check which orders a unit is following by selecting them and holding Shift. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33563925/a313a90a3c37d3c45487995a0aff38ac1fd90e06.gif The units under a Smart Order will be highlighted in a different color. If you want, at any moment, you can take back control of a unit under a Smart Order by giving it another order. Different types of Smart Orders We were not happy with designing just a general offensive or defensive order; we wanted to make sure to reflect the realities of Steel Division 2 combat in the best possible way. This means you can give different types of automated orders to your units, which they will try to follow on their own initiative. Which Smart Orders can you give? SEIZE: Give the “Seize” order to a selected group of units and they will automatically try to capture the targeted location, engagin...Steel Division 2 - Death on the Vistula DLC Announced!Oct 1, 2019 - Community AnnouncementsHello everyone, We are glad to announce the first History Pack DLC for Steel Division 2: Death on the Vistula!

The last massive tank battle in the East Poland, July 28th, 1944. The Operation Bagration offensive closes in on its ultimate goal. Having destroyed Army Group Center, the 1st Belorussian Front races ahead to prevent the Germans from reforming a strong defensive line, overconfident in its own abilities. Stalin aims to capture Warsaw and install a pro-Soviet government. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33563925/965fe70dc38ba346f7ebea6e61814da2dcabb5c8.gif With their sights set on the grand prize, the Polish capital city, as well as a bridgehead the Vistula river, the Soviets fail to notice that they are heading straight into a trap. The Germans, having received reinforcements from five elite Panzerdivisions, are converging on the Red Army vanguard from three directions. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33563925/7d61d8b565e81bdcf830ee40309ba0f2a08ed380.gif This new Army General campaign pits the crack IV. SS-Panzerkorps (Totenkopf and Wiking Panzerdivisions) against the three tank corps-strong Soviet 2nd Guards Tank Army. Various elements from other armored or mechanized divisions will also be available, including 4. Panzerdivision, 19. Panzerdivision, Hermann Göring Panzerdivision, 2nd Guards Cavalry Corps, 11th Tank Corps, and more...

Introduced in our latest blog entry, these new tactical commanding tools will greatly reduce the required amount of micromanagement. It does so by letting the AI manage the execution of orders given to selected group of units. We can’t wait to tell you more about the Smart Orders, which we will do in detail in a dedicated Dev Diary that will be published later this week. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33563925/532b45...Steel Division 2: What's coming nextSep 26, 2019 - Community AnnouncementsHello everyone, It’s been a while! Since the release of Steel Division 2 on June 20th, we have been hard at work on some awesome new content (including the Free Reinforcement Pack #1), balancing the game, as well as tracking and fixing the last remaining bugs and glitches. We know you are anxious to know what’s in store next for Steel Division 2. We have developed Steel Division 2 with a long-term philosophy in mind. As such, we are dedicated to support our game, not only with exciting new content, but also by adding new features set to improve the overall quality, making it easier for new players to jump in and play, and at the same time bringing new challenges to our veteran commanders. Let's take a look at what’s cooking in the kitchen. New Smart OrdersTired of micromanaging every single unit on the battlefield? Would you rather focus on the strategic view? Do you wish that you could command your tanks only and give global orders to all of your other units? That's where our new Smart Orders come into play. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33563925/2ca6620f0436b82306d68aba4904767754e8a764.jpg The new Smart Orders panels (work in progress) We have created Smart Orders with both new and veteran players in mind: on the one hand, the battlefield in Steel Division 2 can be chaotic, with many things happening at the same time. Smart Orders allows you to worry less about certain sectors, and focus on those critical pieces of the frontline where the action is happening. Experienced players can use Smart Orders to organize and control their forces even more efficiently. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33563925/a313a90a3c37d3c45487995a0aff38ac1fd90e06.gif Smart Orders come as an additional panel in the interface, and allow you to give commands to groups of units and let the AI automatically manage the execution of these orders. We are looking at different types of offensive and defensive orders (as well as some cool management orders for units focused on providing support to your combat troops). Smart Orders will be added to the game soon, and will be available in solo, multiplayer and coop in Skirmish mode, Historical Battles, as well as Army General's tactical battles. We are working hard on the implementation of this new feature, so we hope to be able to provide you some more in-depth details soon! Improved Army GeneralThe next update on our list concerns the Army General mode. We are revamping a host of elements within our Dynamic Strategic Campaigns, including adding various new visual touches. For instance, we are working on making the unit counters and maps more legible. We are also greatly improving the Autoresolve and Battle Preparation information panels, and we are going to add additional videos to the campaigns to make them more interesting. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33563925/1b9400d28890074d994f60e47498a38192938882.jpg The new Battle Plan panel (work in progress) The Bobruisk campaign will also receive some special love and care, with the team making it more challenging and ...Now Available on Steam - Steel Division 2Jun 20, 2019 - Product ReleaseSteel Division 2 is Now Available on Steam!

We hope you enjoyed the last Steel Division 2 Beta Phase. Today’s Dev Diary is a special one, as we are not only going to talk about the general map design in Steel Division 2 but also focus on the well-known level of the Beta Players: Orsha North. https://store.steampowered.com/app/919640/Steel_Division_2/ If you haven’t checked out the video Let’s Play a Battle video , do it now! It shows in detail a Closer Combat match on Orsha North, between with the 2nd Guards Tank Corps against the 5. Panzerdivision. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzCkuTvJYnU As always, the disclaimer: please disregard any typos, incorrect stats, visual glitches or other bugs. All these will be fixed at launch. Design Philosophy Steel Division 2 will ship with 25 unique battlefields. These you will encounter in different sizes, adjusted according to the number of players, which can range from 1v1 to 4v4 to our massive 10v10 online battles. Not only that, these maps will be playable across different game modes, such as Conquest, Breakthrough and Closer Combat, either offline (single player) or online (cooperative or multiplayer). By now, you should know that we put a lot of effort into making sure Steel Division 2 is authentic, historically accurate, and fun to play. That’s why we take special care in designing our levels. In Steel Division 2 they don’t only cover the longer combat distances compared to the previous game, but also feature more diverse topology, with different types of forest, as well as more hills and elevated plateaus. Creating a Level Our levels are centered on some of the most important actions and pivotal battles which took place during Operation Bagration in the summer of 1944. We checked real-life locations in Belorussia using genuine Wehrmacht aerial observation and intelligence maps of that era. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33563925/7097924b958fd5c8975f0cafbe459e86d07b909b.gif Quite a bit of research has gone into identifying potentially great locations that would fit Steel Division 2. In particular, we looked at urban spaces like cities, villages or industrial zones, if any major rivers were to be found, roads and their layout, unique features, how dense the forests were or if, for instance, swamps were present. Having found an interesting location, the actual work starts with the design team scaling the levels, drawing the forests, rivers, towns, fields and more. This is an iterative process, with many back and forths, making sure that from a gameplay point of view there are sufficient roads in the deployment areas, or that the level scales to fit the different game modes and the different number of players (from 1v1 to 4v4). https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33563925/fba2d3f65afbf8760722eb099b969d52a45bfd9b.gif The maps have to be balanced as well...Play the Steel Division 2 Beta Now!
