116.So as Steel Division is in preorder beta right now I was wondering if anyone is playing it? I've been sticking to playing against the AI but would like to start paying games with more people.1 Dywizja Pancerna (POL) aka the "Black Division".Panzer Lehr Division (GER) aka the "Parade Division".Infanterie (GER) aka the "Pegasus Division" 6th Airborne Division (UK) aka the "Red Devils".101st Airborne Division (USA) aka the "Screaming Eagles".SS-Panzer Division (GER) aka "Hitlerjugend" (Hitler Youth) 3rd Armored Division (USA) aka "Spearhead".The following are confirmed for the game's release at this time: Each division is based on a real formation which fought in the Normandy theatre of WW2. There are a total of six confirmed countries fielding divisions in the game.

Units caught behind enemy lines suffer penalties in battle and may be forced to surrender if pinned down. A real-time front is represented on the battlefield to show who has control over which area of the map. The more of the map held by one side, the faster they will win the match. Victory is achieved by controlling more territory than the opponent over the course of the match. There are three phases each is 10-15 minutes long and with successively greater access to more powerful, or more plentiful, units. The units deployed to the battlefield are determined by the contents in each deck, along with the current phase of the battle. Players do not build bases instead, previously customized or premade "decks" are used by each division. Likewise, vehicles have handling, protection, and armament in line with what historical records suggest. Units often carry multiple weapons, as they would have during WW2, and these have realistic qualities such as effective range, explosive radius, and ammunition count. The game has a focus on historical accuracy, although it is not a simulator. This historical real-time strategy game is a development of previous Eugen titles such as R.U.S.E. Steel Division: Normandy 44 is the first collaboration by developer Eugen Systems and publisher Paradox Interactive.
