Supreme Commander, released earlier this year, was the successor to the classic strategy game Total Annihilation. The new game pitted three futuristic factions against each other in an epic war across land, sea, and air--and the war is about to get bigger with the Forged Alliance expansion pack, which will add a new playable faction, as well as new units and structures for the existing three factions. Catch up with the additions to the Aeon faction here.
