Minimum on the Steam store: 512 MB of memory, DirectX compatible Sound Card, 1 GB of storage. Windows only.

Western Germany, March 1964... The last Great War rages on. Madness at the front lines. Men butchering each other. War-torn Europe stands ripped apart by a front line that runs straight through the heart of Germany where American and Western European troops battle against enemy forces.
Description from the Steam store page.
