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!

nijuu: woah. Big Problem though. How is the multiplayer done?.
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.

Kunovski: I never understood why those generals didn't just use their sticks to smack the enemy units, instead of just pushing them and their own around... lots of lives could have been saved!
Because those sticks break easily and are very expensive to replace :P

Kunovski: yep, I bet all those countries at war have for example thousands of tanks to fight with, but only two or three sticks that must stay intact and undamaged for the whole duration of war! :D
Exactly, because how else are those generals going to push those units where they need to be? With their hands? I don't think so :P

Satellight: Is the installer including all the languages mentionned in the gamecard ?
Yes :)
I disagree on the quality of the singleplayer campaign. It is up to par with most other singleplayer campaigns in RTS games. It's neither very difficult nor very easy. Of course seasoned multi vets will not agree, but no AI is good enough to face a real brain.

Singleplayer is good enough in this game to justify its existence.
