- Letters Home - A Time to Reflect on the 80th Anniversary of D-Day - 6 June 2024
Today marks the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings at Normandy. The invasion was an exceedingly difficult and monumental task that required ample planning and the courage of many. We are reminded of the indomitable spirit of those who braved the uncertain waters of the English Channel to land on the beaches of Normandy. On June 6, 1944, more than 150,000 British, Canadian, and American troops embarked on a mission that would mark a turning point in World War II and forever change the course of history. The significance of this day cannot be overstated. It was a moment when the tide of war shifted and when the forces of freedom and democracy took a stand against tyranny and oppression. The bravery and sacrifice of the soldiers who fought on that day are etched into the annals of time, a testament to the courage and resilience of the human spirit. We honour the few who remain and the…

- Classified France '44 review - the WW2 XCOM of our dreams? - 1 March 2024
Classified: France '44 may appear to be a tactical squad-based WW2 game in the vein of Commandos or Silent Storm with lashings of XCOM slathered on top, but that's not all it is. Instead, Classified: France '44 aims high, setting out to explore an authentic story of war, told by soldiers fighting behind enemy lines in a pivotal but little-known theater of World War 2. Developer Absolutely Games has served up a surprising amount to chew on; thankfully, we at Wargamer are a hungry lot. Read the rest of the story...

- Classified: France '44 | Pre-order pricing clarification - 28 February 2024
We have become aware of an issue with the pricing of our Deluxe and Overlord Editions on Steam. The price of the Deluxe ($39.99 / £39.99 / €39.99) and Overlord ($49.99 / £49.99 / €49.99) is correct, and any purchases made so far are at the correct price. However, due to a technical issue, the Guerrilla Pack ($5.99 / £5.99 / €5.99) and Resistance Kit ($2.99 / £2.99 / €2.99) were displaying incorrectly as ($49.99 / £49.99 / €49.99) each when viewing bundle details. As a result, the discount offered by purchasing the Deluxe or Overlord Editions would appear inflated. We have now resolved the issue and all prices are displayed correctly. We’re sorry if this pricing error influenced your decision to pre-purchase Classified: France ’44. If it did, then you can request a refund as usual through Steam’s refund process.
