Wargame: European Escalation is a new real time strategy game built around depth and reflection, the key elements of classic wargames. The game features intense real-time battles, stunning graphics, and the amazing IRISZOOM system, which allows a continuous zoom from a global view of the map to the heart of the action. With real strategic gameplay, rich content, integration of EugenNet and its numerous online services, Wargame: European Escalation will unite all the world's biggest strategy fans.
Set in the rarely explored period of 1975-1985, Wargame: European Escalation pits NATO (USA and Western Europe) against the Warsaw Pact (Soviet and Eastern European countries) in battles that explore “what could have been.” The specter of nuclear warfare loomed large over the real Cold War, but this catastrophic outcome was the ultimate last resort as everyone knew that the first one to start nuclear hostilities would end up wiped out just the same. Large, armored offensives through Europe would certainly have been the core of this hypothetical war; and this is what the game’s explosive campaign takes you through!
You know the opening speech from Patton? That's basically the instruction manual and strategy guide for Wargame: European Escalation. It's very simple: recruit troops using the points acquired from victory locations, and win battles by killing more of the other guy's troops. Forget economics and base-building, and focus on terrain, lines of sight, and unit positioning. If you have ever wished real-time strategy games would just slow down and let you play general with your awesome military toys, Wargame is your game. Read More »
