Steel Division is from Eugen systems, the developer previously responsible for R.U.S.E and, most recently, Act of Aggression. It's an ultra hardcore WW2 real-time strategy game with some 400 units, all of which are said to be historically accurate, as well as a real-world setting based on aerial reconnaissance photos taken of Normandy during WW2. There's 10 v 10 multiplayer and a full campaign.
