Its my first post but Ive been here a long time lurking and playing steel panthers and other games.
I am not sure if its the right place to post this but I am super hyped about this new tactical WW2 game that should be out very soon,


It's a frozen day in hell across the plains just west of the Don River. You and your fellow Soldat's are dug in here in defense, peering out to the east. Little more than a year ago, you were marching towards Moscow, singing songs, but that dream is over and you know it. Every day since has been a battle just to stay alive.
Suddenly you hear a large cheer to the front of you, another frenzied attack by the 1st Guards.
They advance over the bodies of their comrades that lay motionless and frozen in the snow from the previous day's fighting. The MG-42 positions to the left and right of your position open up and bodies begin to fall out in front of you. You frantically rack the bolt on your rifle, select targets, and fire. Then the roar of T-34's and KV-1's increases behind that 1st frantic wave. Will the Pak 40's beat them back? You pray as you slam another clip into the top of your Mauser and continue to fire as the snow begins to fall amid the chaos...

Welcome to SECOND FRONT

A tactical, turn-based, squad-level, single player war game that is very unique. Something that has been needed in
the computer wargame community for decades.

Prepare yourself! Embark on the next chapter of tactical World War Two wargaming in the 21st century!

Features,

Turn-based play (I go/you go) Consists of phases in the following order...Move/fire phase, Fire Phase (defending player), Advance phase, Melee phase, Rally phase. At this point, the sequence repeats for the next player.

An order of battle representing the armies of Germany, the United States, and the Soviet Union
from 1939 to 1945. (New nations possibly added in expansion modules at a later date)

Every important Tank, Tank Destroyer, Assault Gun, Half-track, Truck, Jeeps, AT Guns, Howitzers, Mortars, support weapons, and Infantry squad type, including crews are carefully represented.

On and off-board artillery is modeled.

Air support is modeled-Watch aircraft dive bomb and strafe targets from a unique perspective inside and out of the cockpit!-

Radio requests for artillery are modeled

Fire mechanics and spread by wind drift.

Units panic, get pinned, and route under fire, requiring leaders to rally them. Tank crews bail from knocked-out vehicles.

A unique and beautiful art style.

A very powerful map and scenario editor, create your own maps, campaigns, and missions!

Workshop support so players can upload their maps, campaigns, and missions so they can share
their creations with the public.

and much more!

The complexity of SECOND FRONT will appeal to both the novice and seasoned veteran wargamer!

Rather seems to be another false hope of a high level tactical squad!

That's at least a company on the board.

I like the terrain graphics a lot, but the flat nato symbols don’t seem to to go well with it. The scope of three nations for 39-45 seems a little limited, perhaps GB should have been used instead of the US? For now I have rediscovered SpWw2 after a long break from all things w2, and loving it.

Added to my wishlist. Looks like a suite of Battlefield Academy.
