The DeanBeat: My obsession with WWII real-time strategy game Steel Division 2

While I’ve been playing a lot of triple-A titles lately (finally finished Marvel’s Spider-Man just before this), I decided to focus for the sake of fun on this niche game within the niche of World War II strategy games.

It was the Soviet Union’s huge summer offensive in Belarus to take back big chunks of Eastern Europe from the Nazis, as the Allied invasion of Normandy was gathering steam in 1944.

It was a massive set of tank, infantry, and air battles that left the German Wehrmacht in full retreat on the Eastern Front.

That leaves me with a rich list of things to do like multiplayer, co-op, deck building, and single-player tactical campaign battles in the Army General campaigns to play.

You can zoom in on a single anti-tank gun battery, with the shell casings falling out of the gun as it fires, or you can zoom out to see small icons representing the units as they move around the map.

Each of the maps was painstakingly researched using real-life military maps and aerial photography set across the breadth of the Eastern Front.
