The new “Tribute to D-Day” Pack expands your Steel Division 2 experience by giving you the chance to command six new divisions, three for both the Axis and Allies. Each of the featured divisions has been updated to reflect the latest gameplay mechanics and features found in Steel Division 2. This includes the option to choose your own economy rate or deploy units such as Commanders, Artillery Observers, or Military Police.
