Wow, I guess Wargame was a success! A new, ambitious sequel has been announced!

Wargame: AirLand Battle Announced

While the first Wargame made a splash with its powerful engine, Wargame: AirLand Battle will be the series's leap forward by bringing a level of detail never before seen in a real-time strategy game. The new version of the IRISZOOM Engine™ will display spectacular graphics with a wide variety of units, scenery, and impressive topography reproduced from satellite maps, all of which are visible in today's teaser.

Just like its predecessor, Wagame: AirLand Battle takes players through a series of conflicts commanding NATO and Warsaw Pact troops between 1975 & 1985 at a turning point of the Cold War. In this episode, war rages in Northern Europe, notably Scandinavia, whose architecture and magnificent landscapes are faithfully recreated in the game.

Wargame: AirLand Battle allows players to command all military resources of the Cold War era from tanks to planes. A total of 150 planes strengthen the playable arsenal of the game, from fighters to bombers to electronic warfare planes. Four new nations and their vehicles join the original eight from the first installment, making a total of over 750 vehicles and combat units rendered in realistic detail! Wargame: AirLand Battle also brings authenticity to the next level thanks to a new weapons system, better handling of fire effects, and a new Urban Combat Interface (UCI) allowing for battle inside cities.

The solo campaign is composed of several new dynamic campaigns, during which players manage all aspects of battle by leading each squad of the Theater of Operation and making good use of reinforcements and strategic support. Wargame: AirLand Battle still allows customization of armies in solo and multiplayer modes thanks to the 'Deck' system, which is now being enhanced with an integrated 'viewer'. Ultimately, each decision made will have an impact on the tactical outcome of battles and evolution of the global conflict! Prepare to re-enter the Cold War in 2013!

ES has announced...

...for Wargame:EE. Looking forward to the details.

I really wish Eugen would abandon the Cold War gone hot scenario and explore a futuristic war with China theme. I am getting *really* sick of fighting Russians over and over and over, for no apparent reason. This is the biggest reason why I am excited by BlOps 2 - Activision/Treyarch finally got the memo! :D

Wow, very nice indeed. But where are the Saab aircraft:) I did not purchase EE, but was sorely tempted. Its amazing to see where wargaming on the computer is now compared to 15 or even 10 years ago.May have to get this one and its older brother sometime.
