Man am I stoked for this! Probably my most anticipated 2019 release at this point.

Almost never preorder- this will be an exception though.

Yeah...this one is definitely giving me eastern front wood.

This should satisfy a great number of Grogs.

I'll be buying this for sure, though I'm not really excited about it being bagration.  I'd rather it had been Kursk where it was a time when the out come was still undecided.  Gaming bagration is like gaming custers last stand as Custer.

I'm sure eugen will make it nice and balanced for both sides and the strategy layer will be great.

This was my initial reaction as well. Not thrilled about Bagration, but the game will still be awesome.

Good points about Bagration -- I agree it's a somewhat unexpected choice. Kursk seems like it would've been a no-brainer... the last 'clash of the titans' as opposed to Bagration, when the Wehrmacht was already done for (...not that it didn't still take a hell of an effort on the Red Army's part...). 

Kursk seems like an obvious expansion, if the game is going to expand along 'operational' lines ...which I sure hope it will!

I've been playing a lot of Red Thunder of late, not really sure why. That's another game centered on Bagration, of course. But playing it reminds me why Eastern Front is going to be so amazing for SDII... all those open grasslands, perfect tank-fighting terrain, unlike all the bocage mazes in CMx2 Battle for Normandy, where any turn around a corner can mean some pesky squad with a panzerschreck / bazooka just waiting to ambush your beautiful tanks....

Also-- *18* New Divisions ??  Holy cow am I excited for this....

Quoting for posterity.

Eugen had me at Eastern Front.

I don't know about you guys, but when I woke up this morning I thought, "You know what the gaming world needs?  Another WW2-themed RTS game!"

So imagine how happy I am to come across this thread today!

Is WW2 ridiculously over-represented in PC/video/board gaming, to the detriment of many other historical conflicts of equal interest?

You bet!!!

Will I continue to buy them, contributing to the constant glut of WW2-themed games that drown out other historical conflicts?

You bet!!!

The world DEFINITELY needs more Foghorn Leghorn (and Daffy Duck, Sylvester, Wiley Coyote, and, well, just more Looney Tunes)
