All quiet… for now
Hello commander,
Once in a while we get to a week where there is… well… nothing much to report. And today’s post is one of those!
This doesn’t mean that we aren’t busy - far from it. As you know, we are hard at work on the next Steel Division 2 expansion: Blood Feud in Transylvania. Furthermore, we are also laying the groundwork for the future Nemesis: Siege of Dunkirk DLC.
Apart from this, our other game, WARNO just received a major update, BESSIERES, which took up most of our time lately, as well.
[h2]A short recap[/h2]
In case you want to read up on the historical and unit backgrounds of our upcoming expansions and DLC, look no further!
Blood Feud in Transylvania
The next major Steel Division 2 expansion will focus on an often overlooked campaign on the Eastern Front fought between two former allies: Axis Hungary and recently turned Allied Romania. The setting: contested Transylvania. What will you be able to find in Steel Division: Blood Feud in Transylvania?
Nemesis: Siege of Dunkirk
The next mini-expansion, bringing two new divisions and associated units, is Nemesis: Siege of Dunkirk. This will be the sixth community-voted Nemesis DLC for Steel Division 2. We are already working on it concurrent to Blood Feud in Transylvania.
You’ll get to play with:

Blood Feud in Transylvania
The next major Steel Division 2 expansion will focus on an often overlooked campaign on the Eastern Front fought between two former allies: Axis Hungary and recently turned Allied Romania. The setting: contested Transylvania. What will you be able to find in Steel Division: Blood Feud in Transylvania?
- Six new divisions.
- Of which three will be Romanian, including the Divizia 9 Infanterie, the Divizia 8 Cavalerie Motorizata and the Corpul 6 Teritorial.
- And two will be Hungarian, with one German. This includes the Hungarian 2. Páncéloshadosztály (2nd Armored Division) and 25. Hadosztály (25th Infantry Division). The Germans are represented with the Sperrverband von Kessel.
- Of which three will be Romanian, including the Divizia 9 Infanterie, the Divizia 8 Cavalerie Motorizata and the Corpul 6 Teritorial.
- A new Army General campaign focussing on the first stages of combat in Transylvania as they happened from September 5th to 15th, 1944. It will be quite even, with the Hungarians having the edge during the opening moves, while the Romanians build up their forces until powerful enough to counter-attack and overwhelm their opponent later on. Read more about the Army General campaign in this blog post here.
- One new map Oarba.
- 2 Aces: the Hungarian tank commander Lieutenant Ervin Tarczay and Romanian fighter ace, Captain Dan Vizanti.
Nemesis: Siege of Dunkirk
The next mini-expansion, bringing two new divisions and associated units, is Nemesis: Siege of Dunkirk. This will be the sixth community-voted Nemesis DLC for Steel Division 2. We are already working on it concurrent to Blood Feud in Transylvania.
You’ll get to play with:
- The Axis Festung Dünkirchen garrison battlegroup featuring the second-rate 26. Infanterie-Division, with remnants of Wehrmacht divisions retreating from Normandy, and local Kriegsmarine troops. The latter will represent disciplined Raider squads. Limited armor is available, with a pair of phase-locked Panzer IV and StuG, as well as a few Marders and a single Jagdpanther.
- A good number of artillery and AA units can be deployed by this battlegroup, including Flak 20mm, Flak 88mm, and the heavy Flak 105mm, backed up by the new Flak 28(p) (captured Polish Bofors guns). Other guns include Flak 31M(r) (Soviet 85mm AA guns), K30(t) 76,5mm (Czech. vz.30) and K418(f) 155mm (French GPF) howitzers. Heavy off-map support from 164mm and 194mm pieces can also be brought to bear.
- The Allied CIABG are Free Czech and Slovak forces, brought together in an armored battlegroup with little organic infantry. A smattering of local French troops back up the formation, including some former resistance fighters put under “official” arms. The Czechs (and the French) will reuse captured German equipment.
- Support units include 17-pdr and 25-pdr artillery guns, Bofors AA and a recon squadron featuring Humber Scout Car and the unusual new Humberette Scout Car. Heavier guns are the Canadian heavy QF 3,7-inch (94mm) dual-purpose AA gun and the new heavy British (siege) howitzer BL 7.2-inch (182,5mm).
