This new DLC expands the modern warfare sandbox of Combat Mission Shock Force 2 with a focused collection of intense, small-scale engagements set in the turbulent aftermath of a hypothetical NATO invasion of Syria.
Damascus has fallen, but the war is far from over. Across the country, regime loyalists, isolated military units, and local militias continue to resist occupying forces. Some are determined to fight to the last man, while others prepare for a prolonged insurgency. In this unstable environment, every engagement is volatile and tactical decision-making is critical.
Battle Pack places players directly into these flashpoints, emphasizing asymmetric warfare and hard-fought combat in both urban and rural terrain.
The DLC includes four new campaigns and seven standalone scenarios, ranging from insurgent raids on exposed mortar positions to neighbourhood militias clashing over humanitarian aid. These scenarios are designed to offer varied tactical challenges and strong replayability.
For scenario designers, the DLC includes five large and detailed master maps based on real Syrian locations, supporting custom scenario creation and advanced mission design.
You can also expand your gaming experience by purchasing the DLCs: Marines, British Forces and NATO Forces, discounted by 30% in this bundle.
View game pageLast but not least, this evening we will host a stream at 7PM CET on our Twitch channel showcasing the new DLC, don't miss it.

But that's not all – Usually Hapless will also create a video tutorial, providing an in-depth look at how he crafts these maps using the game's editor.
Once the maps are completed, we are thrilled to announce that there will be a special tournament featuring these community-inspired maps. This tournament will give players a chance to showcase their skills on the new battlegrounds and compete for a prize pool filled with coupon rewards.

For the first time, Combat Mission Shock Force 2 and all its DLCS are available on Steam.
Combat Mission Shock Force 2 is set in a hypothetical modern-day (2008) Syrian conflict. The game’s 3D graphics engine takes advantage of Battlefront’s vast experience in 3D wargames, giving an unprecedented level of realism and detail – so much that the game is used in several professional military environments for training and analysis purposes. Players can assign orders to their units, either in real time or with the innovative turn-based WeGo system, as Shock Force 2 focuses on tactical platoon-level action.
The game features a single-player campaign, several pre-made scenarios and multiplayer (Hotseat or PBEM). The DLCs add the US Marines, the British Forces and the NATO armies (German, Dutch and Canadian).
All players who have the original Battlefront version will receive a Steam key for the base game and all DLCs they bought. All details can be found here.
To celebrate the launch on Steam and Matrix Games, Combat Mission Shock Force 2 base game will be discounted at 30% off for a limited time.

We know many of you were anticipating the release of Combat Mission Shock Force 2.
Unfortunately, we have some bad news: we won't be able to release today as the game is still in the Steam review queue. It is entirely dependent on Steam, and there is nothing we can do but wait.
To stay on the safe side, we are delaying the release by one week; therefore, we will be releasing Combat Mission Shock Force 2 on Tuesday, September 1.
We apologize for the delay.

Experience the full range of modern threats to conventional military forces, including irregular combat forces, terrorists, spies, suicide bombers, IED's and other deadly tools employed in the asymmetric warfare of the modern-day. Play the Task Force Thunder campaign, more than a dozen carefully crafted battles, or unlimited Quick Battles. Shock Force 2 focuses on tactical platoon-level action and features both a single-player campaign and multiplayer (Hotseat or PBEM).
