War begins now! Wargame: European Escalation, the explosive real-time strategy game developed by Eugen Systems (R.U.S.E.™, Act of War), celebrates today its imminent worldwide release on PC in retail stores and for download with its launch trailer!

Thanks to this impressive one minute and a half video, fully realized with gameplay sequences, players can live the last hours before the terrible war that is about to begin in the heart of Europe on the 23rd of February. Intense sequences carry the ever increasing tension that rages on the continent. Military installations across Europe are set in a state of maximum alert, air bases of Ramstein and Allstedt have begun to deploy they squadrons, and columns of tanks on both sides of the frontier are moving toward the Iron Curtain that will become, in a few hours, the frontline of a war which will tear apart Europe.

With war about to begin, the armies of the 8 nations under the banners of NATO and the Warsaw Pact are getting ready for battle. All they need now is for you to take command!

Watch the video

Pre-order the game on the official shop

In all fairness, the video does manage to capture the arty spam ingredient of the game
Looks nice, nevertheless. Only problem I had with it is that the date says 22nd of Feb, yet the fields are all green, yellow and summery!

Why divisional AA like BUK/KUB rolling on field with tanks and infantry?
Forces rolling and hating and suddenly they start barrage on map which we know as "Three mile island" on different continent

Yes, there are inconsistencies. But Kub/Buk were capable of forward deployement, hence the tracked chassis and so on.

One random thing that is slightly relevant to the launch... Will it be midnight launch, or will we have to wait till 18:00 GMT/UTC as with most Steam releases?

This could help:
