Deploy for combat, commanders! [b]Valley of Death[/b], a brand-new map for [b]Steel Division 2[/b], is out now for free to all owners! The new battlefield comes part as the [b]Reinforcement Pack #15: Valley of Death[/b] available today. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3204550/Steel_Division_2__Reinforcement_Pack_15__Valley_of_Death/ [b][h2]Valley of Death[/h2][/b] As mentioned in previous [b]Steel Division 2[/b] DevBlogs, [b]Valley of Death[/b] is intricately linked with the [i]Slovak National Uprising[/i] (talked about in [url=https://steamcommunity.com/games/919640/announcements/detail/4367882385577981042]this post here[/url]). The failure to capture the Dukla Pass in October 1944 resulted in ferocious fighting as Allied Soviet forces tried to battle their way into Slovakia. The once pleasant valley was so littered with Soviet burning and destroyed tank hulls that it received the moniker “Valley of Death.” [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33563925/073cf34f8b2b273c088c9bd115254ecd69c36d95.jpg[/img] The [b]Valley of Death[/b] in [b]Steel Division 2[/b] will rely on real-life terrain height variations with a river splitting the area. The four hills in this sector are on high plateaus, separated by a geological rift. Taking advantage of the rocky edges will give your units excellent sight lines, plus there are several patches of wood to find much-needed cover.

If you want proofs of it, check the armory: you'll see that the new Netherlands nation is already live. It only features one unit so far, the [i]1st SSB[/i]'s Dutch [b]SPITFIRE Mk.XIV[/b] which we have already converted to its proper nationality. We have also used the opportunity of modeling the Dutch to already rework the [i]Lewis M20[/i] LMG's model, currently used ingame by the [b]SS-LANDSTORM[/b] as the [i]l.MG 100(h)[/i].
