4 December 2012 - Hampshire, UK/... The Allied Forces are ready to advance in Iron Front D-Day as Deep Silver today presents the American units from the upcoming DLC for Iron Front – Liberation 1944. The expansion introduces new weapons, armour, and military equipment.

For example, in the new DLC 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 that 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 PC from December 14, 2012, at a price of £8. The main game is required in order to use the DLC. The D-Day DLC will only be available for download.

Deep Silver and developer X1 Software/AWAR are also 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 mission. Existing missions may not be submitted as contributions to this contest.

The contest begins today and ends on December 14, 2012.

The winning missions will be made available for all players to download together with the next patch release. The creators of the winning missions will be mentioned in the credits.

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 participating Windows PC download partners for a suggested retail price of $29.99.
