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.

good
Been wanting a RTS where tactics matter more than spamming the field with units. This fits the bill. No needing to build bases or anything else which is a bonus.
Great game!
one of the best tactical games in the market right know but it has its flaws mostly with the Ai and UI. For me on of the most annoying that i notice is with the fact of lack a attack button the players units Ai dont seem to attack or prioritize high value targets, sometimes infantry will attack an apc before a Tank, then Tanks shotting at infantry and not tanks APCS or IFVs, Or that you cant do Supressive fire with with IFVS and infantry attacking a treeline where possible units are you can blind fire until unit is spotted wich makes an attack way more dangerous than it should. Another thing this games has it takes it self to serious about units fog of war i get that in IRL spotting is difficult and its not like in the games but spotting percentages and range are way to bad an infantry vehicle not spotting a full infantry squad of 10 men 20 to 100 meters away because it has a low spotting percentage because infantry men are behind some light trees or bushes also for balance purposes the vehicles accuracy is highly tone down for sake of balance but a MBT missing a 300 400 meter shots even with Green Crews IRL would be impossible unless damaged sights or barrels same with auto cannons. One thing you would notice to its that the game wants to have a HQ to unit communication and thats realistic but that also mans units have no sense of self preservation until routed like an ifv standing in the same spot for 2 3 minutes Until the reverse or move order arrives its kinda dumb there should be a system where at least units can have an SOP where they are allow to retreat when and superior fire power is firering at them like and infantry squad or an vehicle will not sit around for 5 minutes being shot at by a tank till HQ tells them to move this is my bigest gripe with this game units are way to dumb for example attacking a position then to find a tank units will sit for 3 4 minutes until you can tell them to retreat witch realisticaly an squad leader will not put it self in danger for no reason make somthing like an emergency move option and once the unit arrives at its position there be like a 5 minute timer so then can relay the changes to HQ till then can move again this way at least you can be more agressive or more tactical when a attack goes wrong.
Very realistic and not so fun but interesting
great rts game. lots of content, great 3d view.
Very fun strategy game with surprisingly simple and robust way to generate your own campaigns and engagements outside of the provided premade ones for enhanced replay value
