Nemesis DLC Vote Opened
Hello commander!
We are most happy you can join us with our very first Nemesis DLC community vote!
That’s right, from today until Wednesday, September 2nd, you’ll be able to vote on which Nemesis DLC we should release the first.
In this post, we’ll run you through the whole process, highlight each of the three Nemesis DLC options on offer, and show you where and how to vote.
Let’s get to it!
[h2]A quick recap of the Nemesis DLC concept[/h2]
We have come to the end of our first “run” of Nemesis DLC options. How does this whole thing work again?
Check out the three options below!
[h3]Nemesis: Lvov Offensive[/h3]
The first option is Nemesis: Lvov Offensive. This DLC would feature two unique divisions, one on each side, bringing several new units to Steel Division 2. This expansion would focus on the Lvov-Sandomierz operation, which occurred south of the main breakthrough of Operation Bagration in July 1944.

If chosen, Nemesis: Lvov Offensive would feature:
[h3]Nemesis: Slovak Uprising[/h3]
The second option is Nemesis: Slovak Uprising. This DLC would feature a completely new nation - Czechoslovakia - including new indigenous weaponry, vehicles and units, complete voice-over, and more. The Slovak Uprising, which began at the end of August 1944, would be represented by this expansion.

If chosen, Nemesis: Slovak Uprising would feature:
[h3]Nemesis: Siege of Vilnius[/h3]
Our third and last option is Nemesis: Siege of Vilnius. Featuring the brief but brutal Battle of Vilnius in July 1944, this DLC would welcome two special divisions to the stage.

[h2]How to vote and where?[/h2]
Let’s get down to business. Starting today, the Nemesis DLC voting form is open.
You can find the Nemesis DLC voting page by following this link here.
Voting will be closed on Wednesday, September 2nd, 1:30 PM (CEST) / 12:30 PM (BST) / 7:30 AM (EDT).
You need to have an EugNet email address registered if you want to vote. This is the same account you use to play Steel Division 2.
Also, very important to know, but the form allows for multiple tries. This is in case you are not satisfied with your first vote and want to change it. However, only the LAST vote will be registered and counted.
And a fair warning to all, be respectful with the vote and your fellow player - we will come down hard on anyone trying to rig the system, is being an ass about other player’s choices, or who doesn’t want to play by the rules.
[h2]Ranked & 10v10 Tactical Maps[/h2]
As promised during Vulcan's Q&A interview, we will be adding the two maps from the Fate of Finland DLC to the Ranked’s map roster. The maps are Ilomantsi & Tali-Ihantala.
Another community request was to create 10v10 Tactical servers on 3v3 maps. Two such new servers will be added, running Mogilev & Krupki in 10v10 with Tactical settings.
These servers updates are now live.
[h2]Coming up next[/h2]
That’s it for this week. Be sure to leave your vote! We can’t wait to see which of the potential Nemesis DLC we’ll get to make first.
If you have any comments or feedback, reach out to us via our Steam forums and Eugen forums, or keep an eye out on our social channels (Facebook and Twitter). Looking for an online game? Check out the kick-assDiscord server or Reddit page.
Before we bid you adieu - don’t forget that our third History DLC Steel Division 2: Black Sunday is available now as well. Get it while it’s still hot.
See you on the battlefield, commander!

[h2]A quick recap of the Nemesis DLC concept[/h2]
We have come to the end of our first “run” of Nemesis DLC options. How does this whole thing work again?
- Each Nemesis DLC will bring two new divisions (one from each side) and might feature new units, new weapons, new models, and maybe even new… nations. They will be PAID.
- Each Nemesis DLC focuses on a new historical Theater of Operations (think engagement or battle) that was relevant and set in the summer of 1944. This could be the Eastern Front, could be the Western Front, could even be other interesting… locales.
- The first Nemesis DLC will be FREE and likely release in September. This is Nemesis: Battle of Sandomierz Bridgehead and will contain the 16. Panzerdivision versus the 97th Guards Rifle Division. Read more about it here.
- After this, our second Nemesis DLC will be one of three choices. Whichever option wins, gets released first. Certain “unsuccessful” Nemesis divisions might return in future votes.
Check out the three options below!
[h3]Nemesis: Lvov Offensive[/h3]
The first option is Nemesis: Lvov Offensive. This DLC would feature two unique divisions, one on each side, bringing several new units to Steel Division 2. This expansion would focus on the Lvov-Sandomierz operation, which occurred south of the main breakthrough of Operation Bagration in July 1944.
Read all about the Nemesis: Lvov Offensive in this detailed blog post.
If chosen, Nemesis: Lvov Offensive would feature:
- The 20. Panzergrenadier-Division for the Axis, bringing such illustrious new units as the heavily armored Elefant tank destroyer and the one-of-its-kind Tiger (P). Even more unique improvised vehicles are featured with this battlegroup, such as a Flakpanzer Panther, a Flakpanzer T-34, or the Muniwagen T-34 and Muniwagen Panzer III.
- The 10th Guards Tank Corps for the Allies, featuring heavy-duty firepower, including captured T-6s Tigr (Tiger E) and Pantera (Panther A). Full-blown recon T-34/85 will also be on offer in this battlegroup.
[h3]Nemesis: Slovak Uprising[/h3]
The second option is Nemesis: Slovak Uprising. This DLC would feature a completely new nation - Czechoslovakia - including new indigenous weaponry, vehicles and units, complete voice-over, and more. The Slovak Uprising, which began at the end of August 1944, would be represented by this expansion.

If chosen, Nemesis: Slovak Uprising would feature:
- A new nation plus one new Axis division, the German Panzerdivision Tatra, and one Allied division, the Slovak National Uprising (SNP) partisans.
- A select number of tanks for Panzerdivision Tatra including Panzer IV, StuG III G, StuG 40 and Panzer 38 (t). And exactly three Tiger Es. Soldier squads will be made up of Volkssturm, more reliable Hungarian SS, and elements from Sturmbrigade Frankreich.
- The SNP features a large amount of multinational partisans, from escaped Soviet and French POWs, to American OSS and British SOE teams, Czechoslovakian Airborne Brigade, and regular Slovak Army troops. New tanks can also be found, such as LT-40, Vz.33 tankette, T-35 (Panzer 35) and T-38 (Panzer 38).
[h3]Nemesis: Siege of Vilnius[/h3]
Our third and last option is Nemesis: Siege of Vilnius. Featuring the brief but brutal Battle of Vilnius in July 1944, this DLC would welcome two special divisions to the stage.
Read all about the Nemesis: Siege of Vilnius in this detailed blog post.
If chosen, Nemesis: Siege of Vilnius would feature:
- One Axis division, which will be the Luftwaffe-commanded Festung Wilna. The Allies receive an unique mixed battlegroup of Polish partisans - Armia Krajowa - with Red Army support. This Allied division would be titled Ostra Brama.
- Festung Wilna has access to distinctive units such as Fallschirmjäger, Flaktruppen, various light to heavy Flak guns, Walküre and SS-Fallschirmjäger as reinforcements, and many more.
- Ostra Brama battlegroup counts on a variety of interesting units, including various Armia Krajowa squads, captured heavy Flak guns, Red Army-controlled Sherman tanks, Soviet infantry forces, and much more.
- Both divisions in Nemesis: Siege of Vilnius are combat phase locked. This presents the availability of various troops during the stages of the encirclement (Allied) or the relief attempts made from outside (Axis).
