changedAnnounced during the Future Games Show: Spring Showcase, the multiplayer tech test is the first time Men of War II is publicly playable and will run until Monday, March 27 (10 am PDT / 1 pm EDT / 5 pm UTC). The test features four multiplayer modes (of seven that will feature in the full game) and five varied maps, in addition to a set of nine single player tutorial missions that will take you from the basics through to advanced gameplay mechanics and systems.
changedEnlisting in the tech test is simple; you just need to head over to the Men of War II Steam store page where you will have the option to ‘Request Access’ for a Men of War II Playtest - doing so will grant instant access to "Men of War II Playtest" in your Steam Library.
changedOnce installed, you can battle it out in 1v1 up to 5v5 matchups via custom lobbies or PvP matchmaking. A lobby allows full control over the game mode, map selection and team sizes, as well as private, password protected lobbies. Matchmaking however will automatically group players by their real-world location and ranking based on their past games, and set them up in Front Line mode.

changedYou will be able to choose from the 1st Infantry, 1st Tank or 1st Artillery battalion from the Soviet, German and U.S. armies, allowing you to try out over 80 units from the full game’s total roster of over 300. Each battalion features its own gameplay style and unique strategic opportunities resulting in a deeply rewarding experience that is easy to pick up, but difficult to master. Furthermore, the full game will feature individual battalion customisation and additional unit unlocks via in-game progression, expanding the level of control players have on the battlefield.
changedThe tech test includes only a small sample of the content Men of War II will feature on release, but already proves the depth and variety of gameplay and dedication to historical accuracy that will make it the most immersive depiction of World War II battles in franchise history. It will feature 22 multiplayer maps when it launches later this year.

The four multiplayer modes available during the tech test are as follows:
Combat - a classic Men of War mode featuring an all-out brawl between two teams. Victory goes to the team that can destroy the most enemy units, while keeping their own most valuable units alive. (Available on the Borovaya River and The Winter March maps).
Assault Zones - opposing players go head-to-head to earn victory points by capturing and holding strategic points on the map. (Available on the Bazerville and Borovaya River maps).
Front Line - a brand new, strategic mode, that sees teams using infantry to push their Front Line into enemy territory resulting in a tense tug-of-war style match-up in which teamwork is paramount. (Available on all five maps).
Incursion - an asymmetric game mode utilising the Front Line mechanic, in which one team needs to capture a number of highlighted zones held by the opposing team. (Only available on The Coast map).
The following five maps in the tech test:
Bazerville - a map with very little elevation, easy to navigate, open terrain, only sporadically peppered with lone buildings. Ideal for long-range fighting or exploiting weaknesses with fast-moving units.
Borovaya River - a very rugged map, featuring many hills and valleys in its terrain. The map is split in half by a large river, giving players many tactical options to try
