Description:

This was the largest land conflict of all time, over a vast area, involving millions of men and women. The casualties in the main Russo-German conflict were truly unimaginable: the Germans lost nearly 4 million men dead and the Soviets 11 million. The total combat casualties are estimated at around 40 million. The civilian casualties will probably never be accurately known.

This was also a theatre of war that saw the very best – and the worst – that modern soldiering has to offer. The German forces were, without a doubt, the best of their era. The Soviets were in process of modernising (and purging) their huge army when the Germans invaded; they had to learn their craft in an unremitting 4 years of war.

Red Orchestra: Combined Arms offers you the chance to take part in that immense conflict. With the stunning attention to detail, you'll feel the immersion from the word “go”. Take up rifle, SMG, light machine gun and a host of other infantry weaponry. Get mobile in trucks and half-tracks. Or learn what the much-vaunted tanks of the era were really like – lethal when well-directed, but surprisingly vulnerable to infantry.

The maps are based on authentic battles, some of them well known in the West, others much less so. Across open Steppes, in the heat of summer or the snows of winter – from the ice in front of Moscow to the final, desperate, climactic battles in Berlin. You'll have the chance to choose your allegiance, to pick your role as infantry, engineer, tank crew and many others. Chose your weapons. And then fight – shoot the enemy, grenade them, bayonet them if it comes to hand-to-hand – but take your objectives and win the battle!
