Strategic Command 2 Patton Drives East Expansion Demo (v1.0)
 
This demo includes THREE turn limited (1 game year each) playable campaigns:
- 1939 Storm of Steel turns the clock back to the very beginning of hostilities in Europe as the German army prepares to occupy the Sudetenland and Czechoslovakia.
- 1945 Patton Drives East allows you to change history in the months after the Nazi surrender as Patton is allowed to drive across the Oder River and push forward to the very gates of Moscow.
- 1948 Berlin Crisis unleashes the fury of Stalin’s Armies against the Allies in a contest for the total occupation of Europe.

Multiplayer modes are disabled in the demo but the campaigns are playable against the AI as either side.

Patton Drives East allows players to explore the both the historically possible "what ifs" and alternate realities of World War 2 such as:
- What if the Western Allies and the Soviet Union went to war after defeating the Axis? Could America liberate a Europe subjugated by the Axis?
- What if the Western Allies had accepted a surrender from Germany and together they would fight against the USSR?

NOTE ABOUT DUAL MONITOR DISPLAYS:
Patton Drives East (as well as Strategic Command 2 Blitzkrieg and the Weapons and Warfare Expansion) can have severe problems with Dual Monitor displays. As such, we advise disabling a secondary monitor before launching and playing this game.

ISSUE WITH OLDER VIDEO CARDS AND 32 BIT COLOR GAME MODES:
We have identified an issue with some older video cards (Radeon x800 and Radeon x850 although others might also be affected) which results in extremely slow game performance when the games resolution is set to any 32 bit color mode. The fix is easy, simply select 16 bit color mode for the resolution that wish from within the games "Settings" panel (ex: 1680×1050x16). You will not notice any visual differences between 16 bit and 32 bit color mode in the game at all.
 

STRATEGIC COMMAND 2 PATTON DRIVES EAST FEATURES:
- New and bigger game map, now 172×46 tiles in size
- Much larger North American map area, stretching from Florida and the Gulf of Mexico all the way to the Rocky Mountains
- Enhanced and unpredictable AI via new decision events and global variables
- New unit graphics to reflect updated equipment and technologies that would become available post WWII
- Exciting new post-WWII Allies vs. USSR campaigns
- Thrilling re-envisioned classic campaigns with alternate history "what-if" situations
