[h3] Avanti! [/h3]

Hello soldiers!
Queue up and be ready to fight on the Eastern Front for free this week! Starting today, August 26, people are able to play Tannenberg for an entire week (until September 2nd).



If you want to continue fighting on the Eastern Front after the free week, make sure to get the game straight away with a 80% discount!

[h2]Tannenberg Remembrance[/h2]
Today marks also the start of The Battle Of Tannenberg in 1914. The battle took place in Allenstein, Prussia, which is located in current day Poland. Here, the German army and Russian army fought each other for 5 days (until August 30th), which led to the almost full destruction of the Russian Second Army and its commanding general, Alexander Samsonov, took his own life.

The German’s success was brought to them by Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg, along with his staff-officer Erich Ludendorff.



The battle got his name as an avenge to the Teutonic Knights’ defeat, who fought the first Battle of Tannenberg 500 years prior. The Teutonic Knights’ were part of a Christian military order, who aided Christians on their pilgrimages on the way to the Holy Land, Jerusalem.

[h2] Isonzo is coming soon! [/h2]
Isonzo’s release is not far away! We recently shared some new footage as a premier during gamescom! Be sure to check the IGN video!

[h2]Officer Call-ins - Artillery, Gas, and Aviation[/h2]
In Isonzo the Officer class has access to three areas of support, which are targeted on flares fired by Officers or Mountaineers. Each type of support has a separate cooldown, and you can use weaker call-ins more frequently, or wait to deploy the most powerful abilities. Read more about artillery, gas, and aviation.
