Every Shot Counts - Deep Dive #001

Good day cadets!

To help you on your mission as you embark on Steam Next Fest 2023, HQ has supplied a closer look into the mechanics you will encounter on the battlefield in Classified: France '44.

Use suppression to disrupt your enemy's ability to perform, and once broken, pin them to their position to be primed for a flanking manoeuvre, and hey presto, the job's a good un'!

Flanking your opponents causes them to take critical damage, so it's best to use this to your advantage when the time is right. Watch on for more information and be sure to feedback about the demo in our Steam Forums or on our Discord
