Sudden Strike 4 v1.04 released!
Sudden Strike 4: Road to Dunkirk announced
The fight continues in upcoming DLC based on one of WW2's most dramatic conflicts
Following on from the successful launch of [B]Sudden Strike 4[/B] on Windows, Linux, Mac and PlayStation®4, Kalypso Media is excited to reveal the first official DLC expansion for its WW2 strategy heavyweight. [B]Sudden Strike 4: The Road to Dunkirk[/B] will launch for Windows PC, Linux, Mac and PlayStation®4 via digital distribution platforms on 20th October. The DLC offers four new singleplayer missions based around one of the most intense and dramatic conflicts in the entire war, as the Allied forces made a desperate bid to rescue British, French and Belgian troops trapped in the eponymous French town, surrounded by the German army with seemingly no hope for escape.
In the German side of the campaign, players must break through the French defenses in the Battle of Lille to capture the town of Dunkirk and ultimately hunt down and destroy a British battleship. In the Allied campaign, players will launch a counter-offensive during the Battle of Ypres-Comines and attempt to evacuate as many soldiers as possible during Operation Dynamo itself. To aid in the battle, players will have two new commanders to choose from: French war hero Charles de Gaulle and British Expeditionary Force division commander Harold Alexander, further adding to your strategic options for each mission.
Last but not least, [B]Sudden Strike 4: Road to Dunkirk[/B] will also see the introduction of 10 all-new units for players to deploy, including the German SIG 33 Bison artillery, the French Char B1 heavy tank, the British A10 Cruiser Mk. II medium tank and destroyer HMS Ivanhoe.
[B]Dunkirk will be available as DLC for the Windows PC, Mac, Linux and PlayStation®4 versions of Sudden Strike 4 on 20th October 2017.[/B]

Holy Zeppelin! Patch 1.03.19983 released! New Maps and Classic Multiplayer Mode!
We have just updated Sudden Strike 4 to version 1.03.19983 which brings some good news! Many of you requested a classic mutliplayer mode akin to that of Sudden Strike 2. Guess what? Starting right now, you can select "classic mode" when creating a multiplayer match which will have all players struggling for control over sets of zeppelins to get the best reinforcements automatically from the edge of the map.
There are also mutators for how long you have to hold the zeppelins or if players that dont hold zeppelins at all will loose after a certain time. The classic mode can only be played in multiplayer at the moment but we are working to bring it to skirmish as well. Additionally, we have renamed the old multiplayer into "domination" and added two new, large multiplayer maps.
Changelog version 1.03.19983
- Introduction of „Classic” (SUS2) multiplayer mode
- Normal multiplayer mode is now called „Domination”
- 2 new large (4vs4) multiplayer maps supporting both „Classic” and „Domination” game modes
- Introduction of new mutators: „Zeppelin capture timer” and „Time until defeat timer”
- Player count is optimized for multiplayer map sizes
- Player names are now displayed ingame (mouse over)
- Improved AI: easy, medium and hard settings in Skirmish and Multiplayer
- „Domination” modes (Note: Skirmish is not supported on the „Classic” multiplayer maps)
- Classic Multiplayer Mode also has more units available like artillery, AT guns, etc.
- Improved stability
Let us know what you think of the new mode in the forums. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do! And stay tuned for more updates!
