War never changes. Wargames evolve.

Wargame: European Escalation, an amazingly complex and highly realistic modern military real-time strategy game presenting believable conflict scenarios in late XX century Europe, is available 50% off on GOG.com. That's only $9.99 for the first week!

The cold war divided the world and we might never know how close we came to mutual destruction of so called "east" and "west". The military budgets of this time period were simply unimaginable, leading to the highest accumulation of military force in mankind's history. With ideology, economy, and fear fueling the silent conflict, the arms race soon got out of control. Each of the sides paid close attention to the other's every step. One event was enough to provoke a war, which would engulf the entire war in nuclear flames. Now, you can see how intense things were getting!

Wargame: European Escalation focuses on the events that had the potential to trigger a war between the countries of the Warsaw Pact and NATO. The game's time frame (1975-1985) is one of the least explored, yet very interesting periods in strategic gaming. The title offers complex RTS gameplay giving you control over 361 different historical units characteristic for the forces of eight nations divided into two factions that take part in the events. On the Warsaw Pact side, we have the Soviet Union, Poland, East Germany, and Czechoslovakia, while NATO side includes United States, France, West Germany, and United Kingdom. The DRM-free version of the game includes all of the free expansions: New Battlefields, Conquest, Commander, and Fatal Error. With a wide selection of single-player scenarios (both historical and fictional), a variety of multi-player maps, and the unique IRISZOOM™ system allowing for fluent, continuous zoom from the global view to a single unit, this game delivers one of the most critically acclaimed contemporary strategic experiences!

Wargame: European Escalation, for only $9.99! The 50% off discount offer lasts for a week, that is until Thurdsay, August 22, at 11:59AM GMT.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: You'll need a CD-key to access the game's multi-player features. The key will be supplied with your copy of the game. We will begin supplying keys to customers tomorrow!

A drm free version of this is just amazing!
Unbelievable. Good.

I already have the game but I am still very happy this is released here too.
The more publishers see DRM free as a good enough choice, the better.
While I have to skip on buying it now, I will definitely buy it some time later since it is one of those games worth having.

Bravo GOG.
I never got around to playing this... maybe now I will. Thanks GOG!
YES ! YES ! MORE WARGAMES PLEASE ! How about the Dominions games ?
Nice release, wishlisted for now. Surely one I didn't expect.
It looks amazing. Can anyone who has played it tell me if it is as complex as it looks? I feel overwhelmed just by the screenshots, but I also know a proper design makes keeping track of things and performing actions easy to do. I don't mind a lot of tactical richness if the interface makes everything clear and smooth to manage.

I feel privileged to be able to enjoy this message for one day. :)))))))))))))))))))

Yeah problem is multiplayer is a huge aspect of this game even if the single player is good from all accounts

CD keys as stated on the bottom of the news post :P

Please note that they are required for multi and multi ONLY. Single player doesn't require anything of the sort.

Is this game any good single player? I have kept an eye on it but I could never tell if the single player would be any good.
