Battlefront.com and Fury Software have just announced the first Expansion Pack for "Strategic Command 2: Blitzkrieg." Dubbed "Weapons and Warfare" it contains a huge list of new features frequently asked for by the fan community, such as a bigger world map, new units, naval movement and combat rules, a deeper weather model, additional terrain types and resources etc.

The full Feature Lineup below:

- Resized and improved map now 140x46 for added strategic planning - New unit types including Commandos, Anti-Air, Artillery, Anti-tank, Tactical Bombers, Strategic Bombers and Destroyers - New naval movement and combat rules, preventing Neutral naval unit blockades - Deeper weather model with 10 additional Weather Zones as well as a new layer to handle Rain/Fog, Snow and Sandstorms - Additional default Terrain types including, Fields, Bocage, Hills, Oasis w/ Palm Trees, and Desert Sand - Additional default Resource types such as Western, Eastern and North African style Villages - Road and Rail addition to the game map (roads will nullify terrain and weather effects making their control strategically important throughout the map, while rail lines will now connect various cities together for Operational Movement) - Upgradeable Minors with respect to parent Research - Expanded script framework - Expanded Editor including: Editable Seasonal Turn Lengths, Editable Max Strength of Resources, Editable Combat Data and much more

The Expansion Pack will be made available for download sometime later this summer, but only from the official Battlefront websites. That's all for now. If there's anything new on the horizon, be sure to check back for the full update.
