The past few weeks have been exceptionally busy time for the team so we must first apologise for the interruption in our series of weapon previews. They will return in the near future but in the meantime we firstly would like to share a new atmospheric in-game concept featuring a British infantry section by [TWDEV] volcol.


The piece "Faire La Guerre" has been previously featured as the backing track to our weapon update videos but we thought we would share the full version for your enjoyment following the positive response it received. The piece was composed by [TWDEV] Callum Bidgen and arranged by [TWDEV] Callum Bidgen & [TWDEV] SwadianFC.


We get a lot of questions about the game from the community. We enjoy responding to these but two of the more common questions we thought we would share for clarification.

Quote:Q: WHAT ARE THE MINIMUM SPECS?
A: There is extensive testing and optimisation yet to be done but tentatively the minimum specs are as follows:

  • Operating System: Windows XP SP2, Windows Vista SP1, Windows 7, Windows 8
  • CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz, AMD Athlon 64 X2 2.0 GHz or better (a multi-core processor is strongly recommended)
  • Memory: 1 GB RAM (2 GB recommended)
  • Video Card: nVidia 8800GT 512MB RAM, ATI 3850HD 512MB RAM or better (SM 3.0 minimum)

Q: WILL I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE GAME?
A: Traction Wars is PLAY FOR FREE. We have no plans to charge for the game or to have any form of in-game store.

Is this game related to Festung Europa? Both use Cry Engine 3, are Brits/Germans during the Normandy Campaign and seems to be the same kind of tactical shooters...

If not I hope it won't be a War of the Roses kind of fiasco which got destroyed by Chivalry.

No we are not related to Festung Europa in any way. Totally separate entities. We were the first team to start a world war 2 game on the engine (Festung switched from unreal to cry engine 3). Yes its inevitable that we will be competing with each other, but it will motivate us even more than before to create the best game possible. Although the two games share the same time period and setting it doesn't necessarily mean the games will be identical.

To add to that, WotR and Chivalry were both commercial ventures. We are releasing TW as a Free to play game.

Alright, I'm somewhat curious if this thing is still alive. The forum is not exactly brimming with activity.

Yes,as Apple says we are still very active. The vast majority of our site is developer only boards, which are invisible to guests and non developer members. Keep checking this page for more updates soon. We have some nice surprises in store!

Very much looking forward to playing this, I have always imagined the cry engine would make a fantastic engine for a WW2 themed game.

Keep up the good work.
