Real Warfare Mod 8.5 (RWM)  

MaYor, Wuja and team have released the RWM 8.5 after a long development period A lot of time and work has been invested in the new mod. There are already many singleplayer and multiplayer maps that have been tested by the team. The map creators should also be happy that a lot has been screwed on the map editor. Have fun. Feel free to visit the support forum for bugs, suggestions for improvement, etc.

Basic info:
-Project is strictly uncommercial & apolitical (no one has any aim to make money on this, there are no hidden costs etc. neither to promote any ideology); main focus is being put on realism so all details correspond to the way things looked like during the period of WW2
-All are welcome to join the community
-Multiplayer games start everyday at around 20:00 – 21:30 (CET/ Berlin Time) & they last on average for around 2 – 3 hours (6v6)
-For Multiplayer games Radmin is used & we recommend to join TeamSpeak (TS) channel (teamspeak.sudden-strike-maps.de:9988); so you can get help from veteran players.
-Game is very dynamic & demanding, one has to be agile and at that has to undertake fast decisions so to outmaneuver the enemy & use his weakest spots in order to gain terrain and so called “zeppelins” which give extra reinforcements. Teamplay is crucial, a team with much higher looses can win the game due to better tactical situation on the map & extra reinforcements. One could say this game is a more dynamic version of chess you will surely enjoy it.
-We recommend to new players first try out single player maps to get acquainted with the way units move/operate etc.
Game Characteristics:
A) “Remote control” by computer is limited, 90% depends on the way player plays (human decisions)
B) Historical characteristics are met, for instance Panther tank front armor can not be broken by T34/76 from front, range of tanks also differs (in general you can distinguish between small/medium/heavy tanks)
C) Role of the infantry is high as it gives extra view & is capable to eliminate tanks if those are not careful enough, in general in comparison to other games infantry is not only an addition but has very important role (games were often won by teams with more infantry & less tanks)
D) Planes are often used often they can land on airfields & perform many tasks (bombing, dropping paratroopers).
E) During the game you can run out of supplies (fuel/ammo); so you have to resupply your troops
F) First Mod ever that depicts lost historical buildings & sites for such cities like Breslau & Königsberg, great for fan of realistic urban fighting (smoke guns, main focus on infantry & artillery).
