About This Content On November 30th 1939, three months after the outbreak of World War 2, the Soviet Union declares war on the neutral nation of Finland. Under the pretext of seeking territorial changes to protect the city of Leningrad, the vast Red Army envisions a quick victory against the small and poorly equipped Finnish defence force. Outnumbered three to one and facing an enemy with an insurmountable superiority in tanks and aircraft, a great challenge lays ahead of the Finnish Army. But its brave and stubborn soldiers, fighting for their homes and families, every intent to welcome the enemy to a freezing hell of ice and fire. This new expansion for Order of Battle: WW2 includes the Winter War (1939-1940), the Continuation War (1941-1944) and the Lapland War (1944-1945). Players take control of the Finnish Army and, according to the shifting tides of war, allied troops from Germany or the Soviet Union.New Campaign: Ladoga Karelia Tolvajärvi Karelian Isthmus Suomussalmi Raate Road Summa Arctic Fox Ladoga Karelia '41 East Karelia Someri Viipuri Tali-Ihantala Lapland New Units:This expansion adds more than 90 new units to the game, including Finnish ski troops, panzerfaust-equipped infantry, German Panzer IV and StuG III combat vehicles, several variations of the Soviet T-34, KV-2 152mm-armed heavy tanks and a whole range of iconic aircraft such as the Me Bf-109, Fw-190, Yak-7, Il-2 Sturmovik and Fokker D.XXI. New Climate:As the name suggests, Winter War brings a completely new climate to the Order of Battle series: winter. Snow impacts the movement speed of units, ice can be crossed by ground units but cannot be entrenched and frozen rivers no longer provide a natural defensive barrier. Combined with the already unique landscape of Finland, these new features provide a challenging new gameplay experience. 7aa9394dea Title: Order of Battle: Winter WarGenre: Simulation, StrategyDeveloper:The ArtistocratsPublisher:Slitherine Ltd.Release Date: 21 Jul, 2016 Order Of Battle: Winter War Download Computer It bring back memories to Panzer General II. I really enjoy this game. Very fine strategy. Its not easy this campaing. I just finished Raate Road wel it was super fun. Also Suomussalmi was very fun. Few times I was really surprised with some manuevres and my line was almost broken. Some epic battles when morale fall down to hell and unites need some rest. Great balanced game. I can just suggest this campaing.. Winter War is a awesome addition to an already great game its way different then the Pacific theater was and basicly seems like a new game more then an add on i love the idea of being Finland against the mighty Russians and it is balanced out very well for instance put you troops in the forest and watch finland tear through Russian troops who walk into an ambush the misions are planned out great and does an awesome job of the Winter War defintly one to add to your Order of Battle Pacific...... It bring back memories to Panzer General II. I really enjoy this game. Very fine strategy. Its not easy this campaing. I just finished Raate Road wel it was super fun. Also Suomussalmi was very fun. Few times I was really surprised with some manuevres and my line was almost broken. Some epic battles when morale fall down to hell and unites need some rest. Great balanced game. I can just suggest this campaing.. After playing the first free mission last night I can really say I cannot suggest this dlc more. FIrst off this front is often overlooked by developers in favor of a more conventional campaign in Western or Eastern Europe. The Artistocrats have proven that they can do off the beaten path when it comes to scenarios like the ones found in Rising Sun, and this shines through in The Winter War. Playing as the Finnish army really captures the asymmetrical warfare that characterized the brutal fighting throughout Finland's experience in the Second World War. People new to this subject area may complain about the lack of Finnish armour or aircraft or other state of the art weapon systems. It is important to understand though that Finland lacked all those assets in any appreciable qualities at the outbreak of hostilites in 1939. This makes fighting a unique challenge, I have had to voluntarily give up victory points and meticulously plan counter attacks with just infantry, ski and engineer units in order to knock out the cudgel that are the assembled armies of the USSR. The fighting is spectacular and the terrain plays into this perfectly. Your movement is hampered by the snow, as the Finns you can take advantage of the fact that the Soviets will largely be forced to stick to roads to fully employ motti tactics. This game feels like the Winter War, sounds like it (kudos to the developers for including Sibelius in the soundtrack), looks like it and I could not be happier to say that yes, this DLC is most definitely worth your money.. Great scenarios with great maps. Would not recommend to new players due to difficulty level!Also, last scenario has bugged approval counter, kinda incredible considering how much time developers had to fix it.Just played tali-ihantala and first 15 turns were pure agony - I thought there is no freakin chance to get alive. But somehow managed to stretch the enemy on the middle front, push hard on west and defend hard on east. West flank came to help middle in the last moment and took over while transporting middle front troops to help the east front. Then managed to cut enemy supply lines and the rest was walking the park.This is my first oob dlc and as much as i enjoy it, i hope that rising sun which i intend to buy next will be a bit more relaxed.
