Men of War Red Tide

Men of War: Red Tide brings together the tactical depth of real-time strategy and the raw intensity of direct third-person control. Written in collaboration with author and concept creator Alexander Zorich, this standalone expansion tells the story of the Black Coats, the Soviet Naval Infantry whose ruthless precision made them famous along the Black Sea during World War II.

The campaign runs through more than 20 handcrafted missions covering six major historical operations between 1941 and 1945, recreating ferocious Eastern Front battles at Odessa, Sevastopol, Nikolaev and Constanta. You coordinate amphibious landings, storm enemy fortifications, and command armored trains, naval fleets and aircraft as the battlefield falls into chaos.

Four playable factions, Soviet, German, Romanian and Italian, take the field across varied terrain, supported by more than 100 authentic units from tanks and self-propelled guns to warships and bombers. The direct-control system lets you seize any soldier or vehicle at any moment, sliding between the strategic overview and ground-level combat, while dynamic weather, destructible environments and realistic damage modeling give every clash weight.
