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!

The good news is that there is a new patch coming soon for Order of Battle. It’s a sizeable one which will affect the gameplay & balance of units. The bad news is that in sight of that, we have decided to postpone the tournament. The start of the tournament is delayed to next Tuesday February 20th. You will be contacted privately and sent instructions on that day.
Apologies for the confusion and any inconvenience this delay might have caused.
