CDV Software Entertainment has the announcement of the first planned add-on for Blitzkrieg, the World War II RTS game (thanks Frans). The page has a bunch of screenshots, and word on the planned new content:

The official add-on Blitzkrieg: Burning Horizon, throws you in even more dramatic battles of WWII. Burning Horizon offers a huge 18-missions-campaign around General Rommel, giving you the opportunity to play famous battles like Ardennes, Tripolis, Tobruk, El Alamein, Sicily and, of course, Normandy. Furthermore, the add-on contains 8 single missions, with an entire new nation at war: Japan.

50 new units like Zero fighters and Blenheim bombers, the M5 Stuart and many specialized German tanks, US Marines and Afrika Korps units fill the strategy package. Burning Horizon gives the parties a better AI: the enemy seeks weak spots in your lines, clears minefields, handles his air force cleverly. The mission objectives offer a wide range, e.g. airborne assaults, evacuations, covert ops, defense manoeuvres, counter attacks or assassinations.

I thought it was pretty good. The armor vs. armor was spot on with trajectory and penetration being calculated. The infantry was lacking a bit and I think the only thing that the game really needed was an AI boost. Was still heads above Sudden Strike, but the Close Combat series will always sit as king in my book.




You know selling dlc before you patch the client doesn't impress upon me the need to support your shit. -massdev
