In development by the folks at X1 Software (Pacific Fighters: Banzai!), Iron Front—Liberation 1944 is a tale of two sides: the Germans and the Red Army. You can choose between suiting up as infantrymen on either, taking on tasks crucial to stopping their opponents via tactical combat. As the story progresses, you’ll be able to take control of everything from tanks to fighter planes, in addition to the harrowing fight on foot.
Liberation 1944 takes place in southern Poland, and each side has a distinct objective. Take control of the Germans and your soldiers will be working hard to consolidate and regroup troops to stop, or at the very least slow, the advance of the Red Army. Red Army soldiers, on the other hand, will need to break the German resistance and make their way in to attack directly.
X1 is keeping things fairly large scale with Liberation 1944. The total number of vehicles and planes comes in at over 40, including the Königstiger, the Katyusha, the Focke-Wulf Fw-190, and the two-man German ground-attack aircraft, the Stuka, aka the Junkers Ju-87. Weapons receive similar attention to detail across the eight-mission campaign, as does the environment itself, and the damage models for tanks and other units.
