Who/what are the factions?
The Allied factions are:

• Soviet Union
  
• United States of America
  
• United Kingdom
  
• France
  

The Axis factions are:

• Nazi Germany/Third Reich
  
• Italian Social Republic

How will resource management be handled?
You can build supply depots to mine for gold and produce money, but resources can only be transferred around the map by supply lines such as a network of roads. You can take advantage of these bottlenecks to intercept trucks and stop them from reaching your enemy. While much of the structures in R.U.S.E. can be broken, roads cannot, but you can use roadblocks to halt your enemies’ progress. The economy level gives you greater control over resources, but you can also access build menus from any level of the game, and at any point on the map.

What are RUSES?
Ruses are various cards that give you a special ability on a chosen sector of the battlefield, such as deploying fake tanks and soldiers that appear real to the enemy. Ruses can be used at only one sector of the map at a time, but you can redeploy them as many times as you wish on other areas.


more info will be added as it becomes available.

Where did you get the factions from? No Doubt that is the list as it makes logical sense and that would have been what i would have put down for it, but is there a link?

Also my guess for the 3rd axis one would be the Japanese. As they were the other 3rd Axis Power in the war.

Yeah probably, but i cant find anything on that, yet.

Italian's are mentioned here. Search for pizza and you'll find it

Haha ok thanks, that was a good article btw.

I think for the date you should put TBA 2010.

Yeah I changed it. But there's still a lot of confusion ad gamespy says 2010

But I'll take your word for it.
BTW: Could you sticky this thread before the masses start raiding the forums with their questions.

Like I said in the other thread, I would but can't. If you look at the top no moderators are listed(probably because the forum just opened today), so I cant.

I dont know if you want to add this or not, but according to the interviews and such there is going to be some form of resource management. And according to the IGN preview, it says:

quote:

However, the game's resource system is built around the idea of trucks, and trucks can only move on roads. Suddenly, roads become incredibly valuable lines of communication, and capturing and holding strategic crossroads could have a huge impact on the battle.

one other game to put on my wishlist

I cant wait!

Hi all i just saw some wrong information in this FAQ.

First the six playable faction will be:
German
American
UK
Italian
Russian
and French (not Japan)

In the single player campaign you will be able to play only with the american.(But there will be maybe some surprise, and you maybe you will be able to play with some other faction)
There will be like 20 missions.

The IrisZoom engine is made in Eugen Systems.

For the resources, you will need to build or capture some depot. From this depot trucks will automaticly spawn and move to your nearest HQ or administration building. Each time a truck arrive, you will gain some money. I heard that there will be other way to win money but i couldn't find other information about that.

I wanna try that game. They got some ideas.

Ok adding it to the FAQ now. BTW where did get the info from? Cause the interview said 3 axis and 3 allies.

I just grab information from different reviews i found on internet.

for example : http://gdc.gamespot.com/story/6206612/

By the way, Ruse is about the WWII in Europe. That way you can eliminate Japanese, Instantly

But that certainly wouldn't be 3 axis and 3 allies!!!

Ya i dont know what that 3rd one would be then... if it only takes place in Europe... As the 3 major axis powers were the Germans, Italians and the Japanese...

I was dissapointed and shocked when I heard this. You think the Pacific Campaign would be perfect for this game, with the U.S. island hopping through the war, all the maps would then be islands. Which would mean most of the maps can easily be water, and that's what Eugen seems to be going at, so I don't see why Eugen cut out the Pacific Campaign. btw. I wouldn't mind playing a good 'ol battle in Iwo Jima and Midway.

Maybe They will make the pacific campaign in an addon.
But as far as i look there isnt any japanese guy in game or any story about the pacific.
And by the way you look like you wanna play with US. Good for you they are the only faction playable in the campaign

Oooh yeah an other thing about this FAQ.
The game is developed by EugenSystems and Published by Ubisoft.

He's already said that in this FAQ, and I'm not saying I want to play as the U.S., I would love to play as the Russians, it would be a change of pace.
And, not to be one of those jerks, but reading your post gave me a headache; your English teacher must hate you.
Commas are your friend.

I cant agree more . I feel sorry for your Headache and i will try to express myself with more coma .

Perhaps they're planning for a future game with the Pacific theatre. Good marketing strategy if the first one does well I suppose. For the third axis country the only ones that I can think of are like Romania or Czechoslovakia, but historically Germany did all the fighting with soldiers from these countries forming seperate squadrons or regiments.
