Nemesis DLC Overview

In case you have never heard of our Nemesis DLC concept, this type of mini-expansion brings you two themed Steel Division 2 divisions. These DLCs do not contain any missions, maps, or Army General campaigns. Instead, Nemesis DLC only focuses on featuring two new divisions, including potentially new nations and new units, with inspiration from a particularly noteworthy or unusual World War II battle or operation. The twist is that you decide in a community vote which mini-expansion out of a series of three choices should be developed and released by us.

The following Nemesis DLCs are out in the wild:

Nemesis: Battle of Sandomierz Bridgehead is the first Nemesis DLC and available for free! It features the 16. Panzerdivision and the 97th Guards Rifle Division from the Eastern Front, bringing several new units, including the most powerful German tank of World War II, the Königstiger (H).

The second Nemesis DLC, Nemesis: Lvov Offensive, is available now for €4.99 / $4.99. This Nemesis DLC contains the German 20. Panzergrenadier-Division and the Allied 10th Guards Tank Corps, bringing new units such as the heavy tank destroyer Elefant, the unique Bef. Tiger (P) and Bef. Panzer V/IV tanks, Muniwagen Panzer III, Flakpanzer T-34(r) and Flakpanzer Panther, and captured T-5 Pantera..

Nemesis: Battle of Rimini is our third Nemesis DLC, available now for €4.99 / $4.99. It features the 1. Fallschirmjäger-Division for the Axis, and the combined Allied battlegroup of the 2nd New Zealand Division with the 3rd Greek Mountain Brigade attached. Access new units such as British Bristol Beaufighter heavy fighter, Greek Martin Baltimore bomber, German (captured) Re.2005 fighter, as well as various new infantry units such as Oplites Greek mountain infantry, and New Zealander Maoris.

Nemesis: Storming Toulon is our fourth Nemesis DLC. It contains two divisions from Operation Dragoon, the Allied invasion of Southern France in August 1944: German Verteidigungsbereich Toulon and Free French 1e Division Française Libre. A host of new units are available, including Kriegsmarine Marineinfanterie, Commandos d'Afrique special forces, heavy Flak 38 105mm guns, Flakzwilling 37mm, M6 Fargo, M3 Gun 37mm, and more.

The fifth DLC is Nemesis: Raid on Drvar, taking players into one of World War II's most unusual airborne operations: the ambitious Axis air assault to neutralize Yugoslav partisan leader Tito in the spring of 1944. Nemesis: Raid on Drvar features the Axis air assault troops of Unternehmen Rösselsprung against the partisans of the Yugoslav NOV. New units include fanatical SS-Fs-Jäger, Croatian Domobran, partisan Snajper, homemade Yugoslav Partop infantry heavy mortar, BH-33E-SHS biplane, pre-war IK-2/ fighter or the L35 tankette.

Nemesis: Siege of Dunkirk is our sixth Nemesis DLC. It centers on a long-running operation, far behind the front, that began in September 1944 but only finished after World War II: the remarkable Allied siege of Axis-held Dunkirk on the French coast of the English Channel. Pitting together the Axis Festung Dunkirchen against the Czechoslovak Independent Armoured Brigade Group (CIABG), it brings to you new units such as Jagdkampf raiders, Erdkampflafette 43 and captured French K 419(f) 155mm, new Czechoslovakian infantry, Humber LRC Mk. III or BL 7,2-inch 182,9mm.

Reinforcement Pack 14 - Aces

Now that you have finally been able to vote, let’s move the subject to our next Reinforcement Pack, an upcoming free DLC. This Reinforcement Pack will be the 14th and be released on Tuesday 18th.

It will feature 10 new aces for existing divisions:

• Pierre Clostermann, as a SPITFIRE Mk.IX fighter with 2e Division Blindée
  
• Ion S. Dumitru, as a T.4 COMANDA with 1 Blindata
  
• Aladar Heppes, as a Hungarian M109G-6/R6 with 2. Pancelos
  
• John Howard, as a AB LEADER with 6th Airborne Division
  
• Ivan Savel’Evich Kravcov, as a LA-5FN fighter with 7. Eesti
  
• Willy Kretzschmar, as a PANZER IV H with 12. SS-Panzerdivision
  
• Leo Major, as a SNIPER-SCOUTS with 3rd Canadian Infantry Division
  
• Walter Möse, as a STURMJÄGER with 28. Jäger-Division
  
• Lafayette Green “Wardaddy” Pool, as a CMD M4A1 with 3rd Armored Division
  
• Lauri Törni, as a JÄÄKÄRI (KPÄÄL) with Rhyma Raapaana

For this occasion, we decided to redesign infantry aces' cards more in a WARNO style, with the Ace's face directly on the unit card and not stapled to it, which we felt was too small. We hope you will like them.

Until next week

May the most popular Nemesis DLC options win. Get voting! We will be back next week with the results.
