This week Armored Brigade II will have a 10% launch discount on Steam.
Since our Matrix release in November, we have been very busy working on Armored Brigade II. Finland received some major attention with the addition of new 3-D models of the StuG III, Charioteer, Comet, and XA-180. We have also added unique West German infantry formations like Gebirgsjägers, Fallschirmjägers, Aufklärungstruppes, and Pionieres.
With the addition of FXAA and night-vision effects, Armored Brigade II is also looking better than ever.
Major Update
In addition, we also have a major update going live today. V1.585 brings you two entirely new linear campaigns designed by the devs - Western Guard and Midsummer Inferno.
New Finnish formations have also been added with full TO&E tables for Finnish infantry, Jäger, Border Jäger, and Security infantry formations.
