Men of War: Assault Squad from Russian Publisher 1C is about to launch stage 2 of their open beta, but they need 20,000 members on their Steam community to do so. They are only at 17,000 at the time of this writing, but once the quota of registered users is reached, the beta will introduce a new playable faction, the Soviet Union. So Comrades, do your duty as a gamer and loyal Party member; help this developer test their new game.
Men of War: Assault Squad is a stand-alone expansion to 1C’s World War 2 real-time strategy game. Players will be able to take direct control of squads of soldiers or tanks from five different factions which include the aforementioned Soviets, along with the Germans, the British Commonwealth, the Japanese, and of course the Yanks.
There is no pre-order needed to join or any such shenanigans, just a love of WWII strategy. This beta test is available only through Steam; you can sign up to participate on MoW’s Steam Community Page. No release date or pricing information is available at the moment, but you can learn a bit more about the game on Steam.
