LARKSPUR, CA – December 6, 2012 - The Allied
Forces are about to advance in
Iron Front™ D-Day. Today, Deep Silver presents new
information about the American units from the upcoming DLC for
their tactical WWII shooter. The expansion pack introduces new
weapons, armor, and military equipment from a new aspect of the war
– the Western Front.
In
Iron Front D-Day, players can fire bazookas and Thompson
submachine guns, drive Sherman tanks, or attack from above in a
P-47 Thunderbolt. Also featured are the famous Higgins landing
craft which the Allied Forces used to land at Omaha Beach on June
6, 1944. Thanks to these units, capturing the mainland on the coast
becomes a strategic highlight.
The DLC will be available exclusively for PCs as from December
14, 2012, at a price of $ 9.99.
Moreover, Deep Silver and the developer X1 Software/AWAR are
today introducing a new contest in which participants have a chance
to win the
D-Day expansion. In order to take part in the contest,
players must create and submit a new custom gameplay mission
created with the game’s mission editor. Existing missions may
not be submitted as contributions to this contest. The winning
missions will be made available for all players to download
together with the next game patch release, and in addition to
receiving the
D-Day DLC as a contest prize, the creators of the winning
missions will be mentioned in the DLC credits.
The contest begins today and ends on December 14, 2012.

About
Iron Front – Liberation 1944
Iron Front – Liberation 1944 is based on the engine
of ARMA II Operation Arrowhead by Bohemia Interactive. The story
takes place in southern Poland during the Soviet Offensive in the
summer of 1944. The player takes on the role of a Russian or German
infantryman, using teamwork, tactical skill and authentic war
machines to battle for victory. The German campaign focuses on
slowing the advance of the Soviet troops, while the Soviet campaign
is all about breaking through the enemy's resistance. However, the
player does not have to do all this on foot: Tacticians will
control tanks, including the famous German battle tank
Panzerkampfwagen VI or "Königstiger" and the Russian Stalin
tank JS2, or fighter planes such as the Focke Wulf 190 and dive
bombers like the Stuka or the Petlyakov PE-2.
Online is where the battle really heats up in
Iron Front – Liberation 1944: Players can complete
missions either cooperatively or compete with each other in special
multiplayer modes such as "Capture the Flag" or "Attack and
Defense".
Iron Front – Liberation 1944 also includes an
extensive mission editor, enabling players to intuitively create
their own missions and share them with their friends online, thus
guaranteeing that there will never be a shortage of new
missions.
Iron Front – Liberation 1944 is available via
Windows PC download partners for a suggested retail price of
$29.99.
