Order of Battle: Burma Road is OUT!

Post by AlbertoC »

The anticipated new chapter of the Order of Battle series is here: Burma Road is out!

Lead the British forces and their allies in the desperate defence of south Asia against the invading Japanese army. Fight across an unexplored theater and defend the gate to India.

Terrain is a double edged sword, it will hinder and endanger both your troops and those of your enemy. Turn this to your advantage: only by mastering the intricacies of jungle warfare will you manage to overcome your opponent. Make use of expert jungle fighters and train your army to adapt to the theater.

Execute deep infiltration attacks into enemy territory, striking unexpectedly and disrupting the Japanese supply lines! Make them pay for any progress until they have bled enough that they can be beaten back.





Burma Road adds a vast number of new units (over 70!) to an already huge roster. With new planes, artillery, infantry and several new factions, specializations and commanders and a campaign 13 scenarios long, Burma Road is a must have for any Order of Battle fan.

It is accompanied by a big update which brings the game to v.4.1.1. Make sure to read the changelog! Among all new content being added to the game, some Burma Road units and commanders will be made available in other campaigns.

Last but not least: don’t miss Burma Road live on Twitch at 5 pm CEST!

Insider's perspective (beta tester): This is a good one.

I completed Morning Sun yesterday to be ready for Burma Road today.

I'm still on the first scenario and I play on Normal Difficulty (3) for the first time (until now I played at difficulty level 2). I'm quite happy to at last see what this new campaign looks like :)

It's nice to see the game featured in today's Matrix newsletter. That might be an "of course" to most folks, but I stopped to appreciate it.

When will a Steam key be available for those of us that bought it on your site?

It should be soon, I'd say.

Apparently from a few old threads that I saw in a search, Slitherine has to wait for Steam to send them keys for each new DLC.

Thanks...I bought it here thinking I could immediately get the Steam key because that is how I usually play the game. No big deal though in the end if it is coming.

This is one of the old threads which gave me the impression that it will take a while but hopefully not more than a few days - see the response by VPaulus:

You can use the key provided to activate the game in your Steam account, without having to redeem one.

Thanks...could have swore I tried that with another game a while ago and it didn't work, but it did now.
