[b]What’s on offer?
[/b] https://store.steampowered.com/app/1575820/Wargame_Red_Dragon__Nation_Pack_South_Africa [b]Wargame: Red Dragon - Nation Pack: South Africa[/b] will be available for $9.99 / 9,99€ (or the equivalent in your local currency). The reason for this price is multifold. First, keep in mind that this [b]Nation Pack[/b] is the first in many years, with the number and quality of (new) models exceeding those featured in previous DLC. Not only that, the amount of work required for this expansion was substantial - game development is neither cheap nor straightforward, especially resuming work on a game as complex as [b]Wargame: Red Dragon[/b]. To lessen the wait until September 30th, [b]Wargame: Red Dragon - Nation Pack: South Africa[/b] can now be freely streamed by our VIP testers. Keep your eyes peeled on your favorite channels to see when this hot stuff drops!
[b]What will the South Africa Nation Pack bring?
[/b] [b]Wargame: Red Dragon - Nation Pack: South Africa[/b] will feature:- Close to 90 new SADF units, including 20 brand-new vehicle models, as well as many new variants. All feature new Afrikaans and South African-accented English voice-overs.
