Order of Battle: Sandstorm is coming!

[AlbertoC]

1941. Erwin Rommel is appointed commander of the newly created Deutsches Afrika Korps, with the goal of supporting Italy in their campaign against the Allied forces in North Africa.
It is the beginning of a great military campaign which will show the world the military genius of Rommel, a series of great accomplishments which will earn him the immortal nickname of the Desert Fox.

Order of Battle: Sandstorm, the new DLC in the Order of Battle series, will let you relive those years.

You will need exceptional strategical ability to succeed in the brand new campaign – one of the longest ever in Order of Battle, 14 scenarios! Beware, you will be outnumbered and time is against you. Deceive your enemy, then outmaneuver and vanquish them before you run out of supplies.

Sandstorm greatly expands the roster of Italy, adding many unique units as well as specializations. It also introduces a brand new terrain type to Order of Battle, Arid, as well as new terrain rules to represent the hazards of fighting in a desert environment (has anyone mentioned sandstorms?).

Sandstorm is currently in development and it’s about to enter Beta. If you would like to follow its development and give us a hand in testing it, please apply for the beta here.

We will show you more of the DLC soon, so stay tuned!

What a surprise, excellent!

Fantastic!

I notice Italian and German core units. That's a new thing too I guess and will be similar to Waffen SS/Wehrmacht? Please allow for RPs to be transferred (to a limited extend ofc) between the two factions like at the start of a scenario for example like it was in Panzerkrieg 1st scenario.

No other requests at this point.

Do I detect no Coastal Road Seaside Hex Distortion in those screenshots? If so, then I would be happy indeed. Very, very happy.

My personal favorite theater, good choice, can't wait to get into my Panzer and strike out for Egypt...

The Deutsches Afrika Korps(DAK) could be a new faction as WaffenSS or Kriegsmarine ?

Ok, good choice!
Pics show already vehicles in "Wüsten-Tarn", but infantry is yet sweating in their field-grey drillichs. Hope their tropical outfits will arrive in time!

[TDefender]

I just was longing for that!

Is the campaign going to let us conquer Persia and India? Because those maps were awesome in PzC

Actually, I wasn't a fan of those last missions in PzC. It got way too "what-ify". Knowing their previous campaigna, I'd say OOB would have 1,max 2 scenarios that go into fantasia.

Probably not, 13obo is right. However, maybe Erik will recreate Afrikakorps as a campaign once the necessary units are present in the editor. Mayyyybeee, not making any promises because I am not Erik.
