Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
Building on the success of its acclaimed predecessor, Armored Brigade II elevates the wargaming experience by skillfully blending accessibility with tactical depthall within a new, more immersive 3D graphic landscape. This finely-tuned balance makes it an ideal choice for both newcomers and veterans of military wargames. Engage in a simulator that offers both pausable real-time and turn-based gameplay, where every decision counts. Authentic, detailed gameplay captivates players of all levels, immersing them in a world where strategy and realism converge.
At the heart of the game are the command and control dynamics. Orders and information take time to be received and executed, influenced by factors such as training, doctrine, distance from HQ, and communication within formations. This system creates tense moments, especially when waiting for orders during critical situations. Players have the flexibility to issue orders to formations using a mix of general commands and specific Standard Operating Procedures. Engage in combat under a variety of weather and lighting conditions, each realistically affecting combat capabilities and tactics.
Players can select from several vast real-world terrain maps, set across various locations in Europe. The immense scale of these maps not only enables high levels of replayability and customization but also facilitates authentic maneuver warfare, accommodating anything from a single platoon to several battalions simultaneously. This aspect of the game is further enriched by a robust skirmish generation system, allowing players to simulate a wide range of battle types across different seasons and settings, adding layers of depth and versatility to the gameplay experience. Engage in combat under a variety of weather and lighting conditions, each realistically affecting combat capabilities and strategies.
Armored Brigade II excels with its vast assortment of over 1000 meticulously researched ground and air units, encompassing virtually every type in service. They are modeled to the finest detail, encompassing features such as turret traverse speed, guidance methods, and more. This thorough attention to detail ensures that each unit offers its real-life capabilities to the fullest extent, including accurate representations of engagement distances. These units can be used in single skirmishes or dynamic multi-battle operations across the master maps. The game also offers more traditional linear campaigns.
Combat in Armored Brigade II is an all-encompassing contest of smarts, tactics, and mastery of your units, providing an enriching experience for both military enthusiasts and strategy gamers.

Easily one of the best RTS wargames on the market. It's more complex and less "gamey" than WGRD, WARNO, or Broken Arrow, but far more accessible than Combat Mission. It's not perfect (no resupply, no multiplayer, bland graphics, etc), but if you can get past those things, you're in for a treat. By the way, if you check the negative reviews, you'll see people complaining about LOS visualization and command delay being too cumbersome. Those are SKILL ISSUES. >The game is 3D, and there are dedicated LOS and heightmap tools that let you see what the sightlines are at a glance. If you study the map and do basic planning before you start, this is a non-issue. >Command delay can be massively reduced with the "reduce delay" option in the mission select screen, allowing you to micro every unit like a traditional RTS game. If you are capable of reading a menu, this is also a non-issue.
I want to like it but like many games made in the past few years there is no way to re-arm/resupply units so i guess the devs just expect you to run your units out and let them die once they expend all ammunition? This is just a big sticking point for me and i thought this game had it. Other than that the game is great but if your peeve is the inability to resupply then ya....

I like a lot about the game but some aspects just kill my enjoyment completely. Command delay seems cool on paper but is rigid and plays out poorly when things get dynamic. formations being key to reducing delay feels needlessly restrictive, limiting dynamic positioning mid fight. Enemy aircraft will stealth snipe your units, even when you prep for them, it'll take forever for AA to lock them and fire. I've watched four missiles do ♥♥♥♥ all to a hind. AA from CAS doesn't seem to work at all. Some missions in the dynamic campaign end up just being a massive zerg of AI armor and constant air threat from across the map vs your small force. I know you can use "reduced delay" in the settings which pretty much gets rid of it. I just wish the mechanic wasn't so rigid in its implantation and the units themselves had some self preservation or initiative. I want to like this game but can't with how it's balanced and seemingly undercooked.
Excellent CW game, the ability to fight a random battle and then go to Google street view to look at where your key engagements took place is second to none. Realistic enough, but not too cumbersome to command, this is a perfect game to bridge the gap between WARNO and CM:CW.
The "modern" cousin of Graviteam Tactics: Mius Front/Combat Mission, highly recommended if you love the niche military strategy sim, or just setting up orders and watching the chaos ensue. Infinite replayability honestly
An excellent cold war combat simulation strategy title that combines just the right levels of macro/micro management, depth in unit statistics and variety, and playability. I really like the simple visual style, for one thing it means you can have hundreds of things going on and it won't tank your PC. The maps and scenario/campaign generation system are great, it has steam workshop support so user made missions are readily available and there's a metric ton of units to experiment with. It's not all perfect, the control scheme is a bit fiddly and could use some streamlining as well as a UI upgrade but that does not detract from the overall experience. This game is a giant toy box for military enthusiasts, it comes with some great pre made campaigns and scenarios but the real depth here is in generating your own (it's automated and very easy to do) and experimenting with various unit types and scenarios. I wish nothing but success for the developer and I hope to see further expansions into new regions and historical periods (ww2 anyone?!)
Overpriced ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ made by like three Finnish programmers from a random Lapland wooden shed in their free time, using amazing top-of-the-line tools like MS Paint and basic 3D modelling software straight from the studio of the animators of "Money For Nothing" by Dire Straits. Literally the same game as Armored Bigade 1, except now you have like... a 3D layer? Map looks like a pancake -- smoother than your seedy uncle's bald head. 90% of the missions are the same as the first game, the new 10% feel randomly generated. None of them are balanced and I don't think even the devs have played through them. Victory conditions are vague (you can cap both objectives and still have a draw?) A (player character, meaning that it listens to your commands without delay) tank cannot and will not fire on an enemy tank directly in front of it, but it WILL shoot that one half-dead soldier with a rusty AK half way across the map. Game encourages squad control, except you can't play it by squads as it means that they will move in formation no matter the move order and goegraphical features. Very good for things like military parades, impossibly bad for things like the actual combat. You have to control the units individually if you want anything (good) to happen. Probably looked good on paper. Probably's never been playtested. They are asking for the same price as the first game (that's like 40 bucks), but with a few more missions and a 3D engine the likes of which we haven't seen since the 1970's. The 3D camera is more awufl than Combat Mission, and that's saying something, cause in that game the final boss is trying to focus your camera on your troops wihout it looking at the sky or clipping through the ground. Instead of zooming, it changes FOV. Should have been a free update to the base game (which is already overpriced by at least a 50% margin). Terrible AI. No Multiplayer. Dump it.
Starting to see this game as fun. Its little bit like Mius Front but easier to undestand I guess and is smooth like a butter. Maybe Im not in the majority but I really like the retro graphics now. It has probably endless replayabilty.
Delayed Command is really unique to this game. And that how real life communication is You are section leader, Platoon Leader gonna receive order from Coy. Cmd., He gonna need a bit of time to confirm order and process it to each section, then you got the order, some movement order isn't issued right away. So yeah, I like that mechanic so much along with "Fire Mission" that have "TRP" which is not something many game do. JUst wanna thumb up so dev can create more good Realistic RTS like this one.
AB2除了路径点优化外,最令人难忘的是一些花里胡哨的隐藏项,比如接敌到一定条件之后会触发Music目录里的音乐文件(所有音乐文件都可以自定义),进一步增添沉浸感。目前看,创意工坊的音效mod是所有兵棋和RTS中最为真实的,后续官方也将采用。 2D指挥3D切换到战场,和Steel Beats的Wargame模式几乎一致了,氛围感甩Warno/Broken Arrow/Regiments几条街。1代的创意工坊2D地图还可以无缝搬过来,反之亦然。 最好玩的依然是画线计划模块。
