Wargame: European Escalation - Launch Trailer

War begins now! Wargame: European Escalation, the explosive real-time strategy game developed by Eugen Systems (R.U.S.E.™, Act of War), celebrates today its worldwide release on PC in retail stores and for download with its launch trailer!

Thanks to this impressive one minute and a half video, fully realized with gameplay sequences, players can live the last hours before the terrible war that is about to begin in the heart of Europe on the 23rd of February.
Intense sequences carry the ever increasing tension that rages on the continent. Military installations across Europe are set in a state of maximum alert, air bases of Ramstein and Allstedt have begun to deploy they squadrons, and columns of tanks on both sides of the frontier are moving toward the Iron Curtain that will become, in a few hours, the frontline of a war which will tear apart Europe.

With war about to begin, the armies of the 8 nations under the banners of NATO and the Warsaw Pact are getting ready for battle. All they need now is for you to take command!

Soooo did Eugen Systems know that almost 10 years later to the day that there would be an European Escalation? Coincidence? :P

Feburary 2023 from the looks of it lads

[Bluecewe]

It is surprising to see Eugen being so open concerning gameplay in their trailers. There are very few attempts made to cover up the actual graphical fidelity of the game. I hope people respect that.

Most addictive RTS game ever created. If you played it online you'll know

[ShakeableYeti]

Anybody get the chills watching this two massive army marching towards each other and the music fits so well i need to find out what that is

[thenoobfactor]

Its funny how prophetic the artillery spam is. Thats basically the whole multiplayer experience.

@darkmanconclusion
recon wll spot units on the edge of a foest or on the edge of a city. If they are deeper in te town or forest recon won't have line of sight and ofc won't spot them. That's why you want to snd infantry in as they excel at close range. You can also use morta/flamethrower on areas that are likely to b occupied by ennemy infantry units

[Karenronwood]

Yeah I agree, I like the MLRS because just one can put out the same volume of fire as a squad of Paladins, but it's really a waste of resources without a scout. The gun artillery seems to be much more effective for blind firing, but the MLRS seems to be more efficient because you need less of them to completely blanket an area in fire. Lately I've just been using rocket artillery, and mortar carriers at closer ranges.

@RomirosChekist split your units into small parts, counter spam with recons, use transport helicopter with recon solders find enemy's arty , correct shot position and counter arty back

[EpicPanda]

What song is that? It comes up a lot in the "men who built America" show

[bobsquddle]

Me just watching that: "That would never happen in game, those infantry need transports"

[Airbender]

@JorgeL721 Usually its done in waves so a single bombing run might not be enough to suppress enemy forces and the costs to maintain a B52 would be immense.

@stnwllstv I average 27 - 29 fps and this is on medium settings (do note, this is on DX11 settings.) The GPU I have is a Nvidia G230M. Runs fine

[APBTRLA]

Playing this with headphones full screen and 1080p it's like a damn movie o.o

[CapybaraConnoisseur]

Both WiC ans this game are great. But Wargame ia much realstic, that's why I have love/hate relation with this game. When realism comes to games and it's too much of it, then fun is replaces with frustration. But there is good side that game atracts smart and grown up players and it's PC game.

[XxFulgrimxX]

You really can't compare WiC and W:EE. WiC is definitely a lot more acadey and fast-paced, while W:EE is more on the "realistic" part of the scale (i.e. the range of engagement is a lot more realistic). Both are excellent game, but should not be compared.

Pls make a remake of the campain for red dragon

[EAFSQ]

@stnwllstv not really. How it says '2.5Ghz' for the minimum, is just a base level. I am playing this game with a 2.1ghz dual core, 4gb ram, 1gb dedicated graphics and it works fine.
