November 20th, 2024 – Matrix Games and Veitikka Studios proudly announces the release of Armored Brigade II, now available on the Matrix Store. This sequel takes the critically acclaimed series to new heights, transitioning to a custom-built 3D game engine that brings Cold War battles to life with detail and realism.
Unparalleled Scale and Realism
In Armored Brigade II, players step into massive Cold War battlefields generated from real-world terrain maps, ranging from the North German Plain and Fulda Gap to the Ardennes and southern Finland. Military formations, weapons, and vehicles spanning 1965 to 1991 are fully modeled, allowing players to engage in battles with iconic vehicles like the Abrams, T-80, Chieftain, and Marder, as well as rare finds such as the 2P32 or M56 Scorpion.
National differences play a critical role, as troop quality, fire support response times, and formation compositions vary between factions. Players can choose from a wide range of national armies, including the United States, USSR, United Kingdom, Finland, Poland, and East and West Germany.
Command and Tactical Depth
Anticipation is key to success in Armored Brigade II. The game’s command net system realistically models communication delays, requiring players to anticipate enemy moves rather than simply react. The new SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) system allows players to customize tactical behaviors for their units, whether holding fire for ambushes or prioritizing survival through covered approaches.
Firepower and Dynamic Environments
Players can shape the battlefield with powerful artillery, MLRS barrages, sub-munitions, and smoke screens. Air power, including aircraft and helicopter gunships, is fully integrated, while air defenses provide critical protection for vital units. Explosions and gunfire can even ignite forests and urban areas, creating dynamic environmental hazards.
Endless Replayability
Armored Brigade II offers a wealth of content, including developer-designed campaigns and missions. Players can also create their own scenarios using an intuitive mission and campaign generator, which allows them to choose terrain, units, and objectives with minimal effort. For those who prefer granular control, the mission editor lets players tweak every detail, from weather and ground conditions to AI behavior.
The game’s database editor adds even more customization options, enabling players to adjust unit performance or create entirely new platforms with bespoke capabilities.
