Steel Division (RTS)

For those enjoying more tactical RTS games, not unlike the Wargame series:


Has a campaign, but the meaty part is the multiplayer.

1vs1, 2vs2, 3vs3, 4vs4 and 10vs10 AxisvsAllies.

Steel Division: Normandy 44 is a Tactical Real-Time Strategy (RTS) game, developed by Eugen Systems, the creators of titles like Wargame and R.U.S.E. This new game puts players in command of detailed, historically accurate tanks, troops, and vehicles at the height of World War II. Players can measure their tactical skills against several opponents in big multiplayer battles or against enemies in a challenging single-player campaign. Steel Division: Normandy 44 allows players to take control over legendary military divisions from six different countries, such as the American 101st Airborne, the German armored 21st Panzer or the 3rd Canadian Division, during the invasion of Normandy in 1944.

Here the "TLDW" of the last dev-stream showing some deck-building and multiplayer 4vs4 gameplay:



Of course there is also a Subreddit for memes and drama.

A new patch came today for the Beta and now the 352. Infantrie Division and the 6th Airborne Division are playable.


I'd really suggest everyone having a RTS WW2 multiplayer-itch to give it a try. Release is still a few days out, so if you buy it on Steam you can return it anytime no matter how long you played it, before the 23rd.

Edit:

And here a cast of the last 2vs2 tournament finals (rare to see axis vs axis in normal multiplayer):

Which other Deck-building RTS did you play?

I only know the Wargame series and now Steel Division. And while I felt a bit apprehensive about it as well (main reason why I waited a long while before buying Wargame: Air Land Battle), I quite enjoyed it once I actually got to see how it works.


Edit:

Here someone presents a deck he made and the reasoning that went into it:


And here some gameplay with it

Should make a 17. Panzergrenadier deck then (; Their tank-tab looks like this:

Game is released!
