So, Steel Division has been available for a wee while now as a beta and no thread yet so thought I'd post a little impressions to start.

Eugene have taken their Wargame series and taken it back to 1944. While I found the Wargame series to be too hard to play, mainly due to the speed and the need to micro well.

This is a bit lower paced due to the time period and that suits me just fine. Looks very nice and sounds great (apart from a few voices..).

3 allied and 3 German divisions so far with that going up to 9 on each side by launch. 3 maps so far but more to be added.

I'd recommend this to anyone that loved the Wargame series but felt put off by the speed.

Give me a shout some time, I have this and I kinda suck at it.

Definitely easier to get into than Wargame.

Will be a while before I play pvp, still getting to grips with 'easy' and 'med' ai

Instead of needing you to be a micro savant, the game looks for positioning and line of sight.

I should be AltTab on there neems, ScottishTabasco on Steam. Will give you a shout when I feel a bit more comfortable with the game.

Cool, I quite fancy a comp stomp some time, be a while before I can handle real opponents I suspect.

Just been an update, a couple of new maps (including one with elevation) and 2 new divisions, one French and another German (with Tiger tanks).

Spotted that this morning before I went to work. Both new divisions look really nice and both seem strong, will look into them at weekend.

Been having a look at what Youtubers like Sherm, Vulcan and BoltSauce have been doing the last couple of weeks, been learning a good deal.Vulcan and Bolt in particular are very good already.

Oh and its King Tiger tanks. Normal Tigers not in game yet and both the ability to only bring in 3 in phase c and the cost of 350 each will make me cautious to bring to my deck. In 10v10 spam games though I'd bring 'em

Some good changes and balancing in the patch too. They are definitely trying to improve and balance the aa/planes in particular.
