Steel Division: Normandy 44 is a Tactical Real-Time Strategy (RTS) game, developed by Eugen Systems, the creators of titles like Wargame and R.U.S.E. This new game puts players in command of detailed, historically accurate tanks, troops, and vehicles at the height of World War II. Players can measure their tactical skills against several opponents in big multiplayer battles or against enemies in a challenging single-player campaign. Steel Division: Normandy 44 allows players to take control over legendary military divisions from six different countries, such as the American 101st Airborne, the German armored 21st Panzer or the 3rd Canadian Division, during the invasion of Normandy in 1944.

Even after all those years this is still the best WW2 RTS you can get.
SD2 feels unpolished / lackluster in comparison (especially UI / design) and has questionable DLC moneymaking these days.
Other titles like Men of War or Call to Arms lack some of the features that make this title so great (line of sight tool, moving front line mechanic instead of fog of war, huge zoom level, AI path finding).

I'm writing a quick review to take to task the blithering drivel currently being spewed by kids that blast a game they know nothing about, after playing it for 20 minutes.
This is a great game not a good game. Yes the AI will shoot through windows and nail you the moment you enter the range of a tank or AT gun - so what. This game was meant for human competition play and it's fantastic.
Everyone wants INSTANT gratification of their little game and has no patience for watching well planned tactics rewarded. If you're a lightweight or cupcake, stick to some comical FPS with crazy avatars. If you appreciate well a well developed game, then give this one a try. I will say the sucessor Steel Division 2 is easier to play and is strictly Eastern Front. It is also a fantastic game worth your time.

Game looks great with the graphic overhaul DLC, tutorials are clear so far. It is like the good old Close Combat vibe, with more up it's sleeve!

Great game! Definitely my favourite wargame. I'd wish Steel Division 2 would be more like this (I tried to love SD2, but couldn't)
Highly recommend!
(hopefully developers will make more maps and add-ons for SD44 or similar game like this)

I've only played this in solo (campaign, history & skirmish modes) and can recommend it for those like me who arent that great with w/ fast-clickfest pvp matches. It has the active pause where you can issue and string commands when the game is paused. My nitpicks are the units are tiny (sure it's to scale but it would be nice if it was bigger when zoomed out to appreciate the unit models and become more scale when zooming in). Another bad is the replays saved almost never save completely or out of sync when going back to review. I also wished the the key C (for line-of-sight range view would at least show the unit's firing range-limit).
Despite these, I liked it enough to buy the DLC that has the historical missions to extend my playtime.

The Modding support and frontline puts Steel Division apart from the Wargame series, i like that alot. Theres also no FOB to refill your supply trucks which i do not like. Unfortunately mods dont merge well, and theres no second showroom in which you can check out all units without building a deck. Other than that a great game. Although Wargame RD and AB are better even though older. Just like the Wargames, theres bare to no bugs. I would only get it on sale.

The fighting is close up and personal do to the hedges trees and forest. Not a lot of long range shooting. Heavy use of infantry, artillery, and flame throwers. Tanks by themselves will get taken out by enemy infantry. You will need to use all your resources wisely to be successful. Plenty of squad and platoon tactics with armor in support.
