Wargame: European Escalation, the explosive real-time strategy game developed for PC by Eugen Systems (R.U.S.E.™, Act of War), lets players control over 360 different units and vehicles faithfully modeled after actual units from 1975 to 1985. Jump behind the wheel and engage in armed conflict between NATO and the Warsaw Pact!
After unveiling NATO units and vehicles last week, players can discover today all of the 180 Warsaw Pact units with seven exclusive screenshots! Players may recognize some famous vehicles like the T-80 battle tanks, the fearsome Mi-28 Havoc gunship helicopter or the gigantic Mil Mi-26, the world’s biggest helicopter (120 feet long!), which will be very useful for resupplying Soviet forces.
Players will be able to select and recruit them to form their army, both in campaign and in multiplayer, thanks to an original and innovative ‘Deck’ system. In Wargame: European Escalation, 4 nations from the Warsaw Pact face NATO forces. Today’s screenshots unveil all 180 Soviet, Czechoslovakian, East-German and Polish units!
Wargame’s powerful engine, the IRISZOOM™, animates all these units on incredibly huge maps as big as 60 square miles, which display over 100 million scenery objects. Battles are as spectacular as they are realistic and deeply strategic, while hundreds of vehicles, infantry, and helicopters battle fiercely over the warzone!
We also want to remind players, that they may consult the official website’s Database section, which lists and displays all the game’s units!
This is a great opportunity to start planning your army in time for the game’s release in February 2012!
About Wargame: European Escalation
Wargame: European Escalation, the new real time strategy game from Eugen Systems, a specialist of the genre and developer of the criticallylauded Act of War: Direct Action, and more recently R.U.S.E.™.
Wargame: European Escalation is built around depth and reflection, the key elements of classic wargames. Above solid foundations, Eugen Systems builds an impressive list of features and enhancements in order to provide a unique and innovative gaming experience to all real-time strategy fans.
Wargame: European Escalation features intense real-time battles, stunning graphics, and the amazing IRISZOOM™ system, which allows a continuous zoom from a global view of the map to the heart of the action. With real strategic gameplay, rich content, integration of EugenNet© and its numerous online services, Wargame: European Escalation will unite all the world’s biggest strategy fans.
Set in the rarely explored period of 1975-1985, Wargame: European Escalation pits NATO (USA and Western Europe) against the Warsaw Pact (Soviet and Eastern European countries) in battles that explore “what could have been.” The specter of nuclear warfare loomed large over the real Cold War, but this catastrophic outcome was the ultimate last resort as everyone knew that the first one to start nuclear hostilities would end up wiped out just the same. Large, armored offensives through Europe would certainly have been the core of this hypothetical war; and this is what the game’s explosive campaign takes you through!
