Wargame: European Escalation is a real-time strategy game that was developed by Eugen Systems and published by Focus Home Interactive in North America and Europe, and by Cyber Front in Japan. It was released on February 22, 2012 in North America, on July 13, 2012 in Japan and on October 12, 2012 in Europe.
Set in the rarely explored Cold War period of 1975-1985, Wargame European Escalation explores the battles 'that could have been' if history had taken the wrong turn at some point in the conflict. On both sides of the Iron Curtain that tears Germany in two, the two military alliances, NATO and the Warsaw Pact, are on the verge of war. The zeal of a patrol close to the East-German border eventually leads to a firefight with their enemy brothers. Soon the local skirmish pushes the already-tense relationship between NATO and the Warsaw Pact over the edge into all-out war.
