Hi I'm Valentin, young French developer of 21 years old. I started this game in December 2019 from scratch after playing my first wargame for a couple of hours.
Working alone on it with my brother who's responsible for the art.
This game features :

Over 700 units
Customizable units (Rockets, bombs, drop tank, torpedo, trucks, half tracks, horses etc)
A rank and experience system for the units, and the player
Any country you want to play
A unit editor (Create or modify any unit you want)
A tile editor (create or modify any tile you want)
A country editor (Create any country you want)
A map editor allowing you to recreate any battle of your choice (up to 300 x 300 hexes and above if your PC can handle it)
A fully functional steam workshop to upload your work to, and download other's
An entire Europe map
An entire Pacific map
An entire Eastern front map
A campaign for major countries, with a core-unit system (Keeping units between scenarios)
A supply line mechanics (Optional)
Blowing up or repairing bridges mechanics
Diving / going to surface, and spotting mechanics with submarines
Retreat, surrender, capture mechanics
A morale mechanics (Optional)
A season mechanics + weather mechanics (Optional)
No time limit to complete scenarios if you don't want to
Daily, or almost updates
A complete guide on Steam + official tutorials on youtube
A cool developper :))

Operation Citadel isn't just about the eastern front, and even less just about one battle. To be honest, all good names were taken and I could not think of one.
If you have a better idea, I would be happy to hear it, send me an email or drop by our discord !
The game should run just fine on pretty much anything. If not, you'll get a refund, but let me know so I actualize the requirements !
If you have any suggestion, critic to make, send an email or leave a message on the discord, or open a topic in the forum. You will ALWAYS be answered to.
And last but not least, if you like the game and want to support me, leave a positive / constructive review here on Steam, share the game with your friends, knock yourself out !

6.6.1

[u]NOTE: 6.6.1 is not compatible with earlier versions of real time multiplayer. PBEM is fine.[/u]

Hi there!

So, I am currently travelling (Finland) and don't have much time to work, but since this trip included many hours spent in the train and the plane, well I had time to work on Hex of Steel.

I spent a lot of time thinking to solve a few issues I was having, including modifying base units' stats and saving those as part of a mod.

Well, my friends, wait no more, I found a way to do it and even implemented it already!

This small update actually changes several things, adds a little bit and fixes some issues you guys reported back to me (thanks!)

So here's the change log!

Added:

Possibility to modify base units' stats (official) and save those changes into a mod.

Changed:

Submarines can now detect ships 3 tiles away.
Mods' weight is now very accurately displayed in the mod manager (down to the kb).
You can now play the same country in real time multiplayer. Not same player, but same country. So you can have a map with 3 players and have 2 Germany.
Reinitialized all leaderboard for scenarios. I am sorry, but since I added the leaderboard many things have changed and I found ways to prevent players from "cheating" and have impossible scores (like 2 turns on the Europe map). So, this way, everyone has a chance again!
Changes to partisans spawning and policies.

Fixed:

When changing a base unit's max HP down to 50 let's say, if you started a new scenario, the unit would show 100/50 HP.
Buildings didn't appear in the map editor.
Infinite money bug while upgrading units in some cases (with truck or mech option).
Selling a unit from the reserve would not apply the 'use modifier', for example if you sent a unit back to the reserve from the order of battle and sold the unit afterwards, you would get back 100% of the cash.
Unit's icon not showing for buildings after changes I made to the categories of units.

And that's it for this update!
Will share some pictures from the tank museum when we get there :)
There are mostly soviet tanks but german and finnish as well ;)

Cheers!
