Buy Steel Division 2 Burning Baltics PC key

Steel Division 2: Burning Baltics is a history expansion for Steel Division 2, a World War II real-time strategy game set on the Eastern Front. It focuses on Operation Doppelkopf, the Axis counter-offensive in the Baltics in late summer 1944. After Operation Bagration, the Red Army has reached the Gulf of Riga and cut the connection between Army Group North and the remnants of Army Group Centre. The German objective is to restore the link with Riga through an armoured counter-attack, supported by nearby Kriegsmarine heavy cruisers.

The Doppelkopf campaign

In a new Army General campaign, you command either the attacking German 3. Panzerarmee or the defending Soviet 1st Baltic Front. The expansion also adds eight divisions playable in solo, co-op and multiplayer: six that took part directly in Doppelkopf and two from Army Group North.

As the Axis, you can command Grossdeutschland, Nordland, Panzerverband Strachwitz or 52. Sicherungs-Division z.b.V. The Allied formations include the 19th Tank Corps, Mobile Group Fedyunkin, Estonia's 7th Rifle Division and the 43rd Army's Reserve battlegroups.

New units and Aces

The expansion adds over 120 units, including the Aufklärungspanzer 38(t) recon tank, Ar 196 A-3 floatplane, Soviet MT-13 160mm super-heavy mortar, BS-3 100mm heavy AT gun and Yer-2 bombers. Two Aces also join the forces: Stuka pilot Hans-Ulrich Rüdel in his Ju-87G Panzerknacker, and Soviet general Gueorgui Nefiodovitch Zakharov in his Yak-3 fighter.

New Nations

The expansion adds Axis Lithuania and Allied Estonia, both fully voiced in their own languages. Latvian troops are also included, but are considered part of the German armed forces in the game.
