“The raising of that flag on Suribachi means a Marine Corps for the next five hundred years. “
James Forrestal, Secretary of the Navy, 1945

First to fight!

Order of Battle: U.S. Marines, the latest expansion for Order of Battle: Pacific, has been released on PC and Mac!

Are you ready to be thrown into the adventurous island-hopping campaign of 1942-1945? A long and bloody military operation that starts with the assault of Tulagi and advances across small and isolated jungle islands, reaching up to the iconic epilogue at Iwo Jima.

Order of Battle: U.S Marines is the second expansion of the franchise and it includes a campaign with 11 brand new scenarios against the Imperial Japanese troops. You’ll fight, amongst others, the historical battles of Guadalcanal and Tarawa. In these savage landscape enemies adapt their strategy from ruthless assaults to deep and well-prepared defensive systems.

Fight with the new U.S. Marines faction, deploy many new units on the battlefield and employ the new support fire ability for Heavy Infantry.

Onwards to victory! Semper fidelis!

A special 10% launch discount on the expansion is available for a limited time period!
Last but not least, don’t miss the Twitch stream tonight at our official Twitch Channel at 8PM CEST / 6PM UTC / 2PM EDT!

Thanks for the coupon code, but unfortunately it does not work. The checkout page tells me, the code is invalid.

HI All,

Sorry, an error with the mail out meant that the code for accessing the beta was sent out instead of the discount code. A new email has been sent and should be in your inboxes in about 15 mins.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Thanks

MartinAmbros, the only 3 posts you have ever made are complaining your coupon doesn't work. This means you made a total of 0 posts on the beta test...

Same for you xbilalazne.

Ok, I got my coupon code, bought the Marines and it is downloading. Do I need a Steam Key? Seems like when I downloaded Morning Sun when it came out it would not until I received a Steam Key.

Sorry, meant "would not work"

If your base game, Order of Battle: Pacific, is on Steam, then you'll need to redeem a Steam key for US Marines.

hey Aristocrats guys

The way I am inclined to do this is to uninstall my beta version of US marines.

Then buy the Matrix / Slitherine key using my code. And get my steam key.

Then redownload the steam version which is what i usually play.

Questions
1/ Is there a better way - such as just overiding my beta key with the purchased one and leaving the beta version alone? I just don't want two conflicting versions of the same game in my computer.

The (recent) betas should not affect your main game, as their serials are now stored seperate.

How do I get a steam key? There are no instructions.

Does order of battle feature single player AI?

adherbal · Post by **adherbal** » Sun Apr 10, 2016 12:58 pm

Of course. The base game contains 27 singleplayer scenarios (3 campaigns) and 10+ for each of the current expansion campaigns.

As with Order of Battle - Morning Sun 2.2.5, I also now tried to do the same process to install US Marines - v238.exe in my Computer by doing this...

After reinstalling on an older version, make sure you first 'Delete' the "Settings" _ Folder in...Users\RETRIBUTAR\ <my documents>\My Games\Order of Battle - Pacific\Settings

& I did just so_Three times!, but the new game start Icon on my Desktop doesn't appear!. What I do yet have is the previous Order of Battle- Pacific Game Start Icon on my Desktop, so I was hoping that if I still used what is a previous Mod that I could still somehow access the US Marines - v238.exe through "The Original Unmodded Game under the StartUp Tab . However!, this is not to be!...US Marines - v238.exe is not to be seen anywhere even though 3X the Self-Installer said that I had successfully installed the New-Mod!.

What's wrong here?, how can I resolve this Perplexing-Issue?.

Re: Order of Battle: U.S. Marines is out!
The US Marines expansion is not a mod - unlike the Battle of Britain content released a while back. You can find the US marines campaign in the base game, in the campaigns overview panel: click "campaigns" in the main menu, then select the US. Marines icon in the bottom right corner (near Australia).

Again! , I for the Fourth-Time Re-Installed US Marines - v238.exe & in the campaigns overview panel: clicked "campaigns", and still was UnAble to See the US. Marines icon in the bottom right corner (near Australia).

Where have i Fallen-Short?.
