Patch v3.0

Operation Overlord, or D-Day launched 76 years ago on the windy morning of June 6, 1944. To mark that momentous occasion, we've got some brand new content for you! Two new free campaign levels (each with new historical documents!) and variety of bug fixes. Why not mark the anniversary of the beginning of Europes liberation by recreating the event yourself, digitally?

MAJOR

- NEW Melfa Pursuit mission (Italy). You are to pursue fleeing German units after penetrating the Hitler Line in Italy. Using scouts and snipers, avoid enemies and guide your small force to the rear poisition of Ceprano to dig in to prevent enemies from escaping. - NEW Le Mesnils-Patry mission (France). After losing ground in the Juno Beach Counterattack in France, you are ordered once again to advance and retake lost ground. Prepare for an all-out brawl, with both sides fielding heavy armour and large numbers over a small area. This bloody battle was plagued with poor communication, and as such you will be working with an AI teammate in your assault. Both missions come with new historical photos, video and other documents. Check them out!

MINOR

- Added Free-play and Challenge mode to Dieppe Revisited mission - Increased tank health 25%, morale by 20%, tanks now move in squadrons of 6 - Added viewable barrage range stat for Artillery and Anti-tank guns - Fixed artillery sometimes incorrectly reporting amount of barrages left - Added voice line right after artillery fires about running out of ammo - Various bug fixes with threading - Moved briefing, log and field manual aside when playing very wide maps - Added another video and newspaper article to Ortona historical documents about Victoria Cross recipient If you're having problems with speech recognition, please refer to this thread: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1011610/discussions/0/2262438048225838980

Radio General is a real-time strategy game where you can't see your units. Instead you talk with them over the radio. You receive verbal reports, and then issue orders back over the radio. Unfortunately for you, war is confusing. Your units won't always know what's going on, and you must make tough decisions based on these incomplete (and often confused) reports. All of this is done from a detailed command tent, as it would have been during WWII.



Clear your throat, and show us your best commanding voice. By combining speech recognition with full voice-acting, you'll feel like you're a general on the horn with your troops.



Behind the scenes, ammunition, morale, camouflage, sight and stamina are all being modelled. Elevation and terrain type will heavily influence battles. A smaller force will be more successful in launching ambushes in a forest than a larger force. Being on a road drastically improves movement speed, however affords little cover and camouflage. Being on a hill will drastically increase your spotting distance, whilst also increasing your range and damage. Study the map carefully, and identify how best to use your units.



Carefully choose which companies to deploy - each company has unique strengths and weakness. Learn the quirks and personalities of your companies: zealous officers may refuse to retreat. Veteran companies will gain specializations, with each unit type having unique abilities.

Everyone needs a break, and your companies must rest and replenish between missions. Exhausted units perform poorly, so watch your unit rotations.



Play from the under-represented perspective of the 1st Canadian Army. Take part in the disastrous Dieppe Raid, crack the Hitler and Gothic Lines in Italy, land upon the Normandy beaches and close the Falaise Gap.

Review 100's of historical photos, documents and video. Learn how soldiers lived throughout the war, and gain a better understanding of their experiences.



Recreate history's most famous battles of the war using an easy to use map editor. Share your creations using Steam workshop. Create challenging scenarios for others to try to beat!



Battle against players around the globe, or ally with them against the AI! Enjoy slower-paced tactical matches without needing insane micromanagement skills typical of most RTS games.
