Publisher CDV Software reported that Sudden Strike sold 292,000 units into stores and foreign publishers during 2000, and that sell-through was "running very positively". It continued to chart in the German market that March, with a placement of 18th. Following its 16th-place finish in February 2001, the VUD upgraded Sudden Strike to "Platinum" status (200,000 sales) and reaffirmed it as major commercial success. It proceeded to place second, sixth, 17th and 18th on Media Control's rankings over the subsequent four months, respectively. The committee noted that, despite the game's "exceedingly sensitive" subject matter, Sudden Strike had become an "absolute hit". The Verband der Unterhaltungssoftware Deutschland (VUD) presented it with a "Gold" award at the end of that month, indicating sales of at least 100,000 units across Germany, Austria and Switzerland. In the German market, Sudden Strike debuted at #1 on Media Control's sales chart for September 2000. The add-on also includes 5 new single player individual scenarios. dispel enemy attacks or to simply take over a designated airfield in the east and so on. As with the earlier Sudden Strike original campaigns, the briefings do not explain the historical setting of the campaign, thus only issuing standardized orders to the player to e.g. The Soviet campaign involves a large armored division counter-attack on Russian soil and the storming of the Wehrmacht-controlled airfields. The British campaign deals with the defense of an unnamed seaport from German attacks, whereas the American campaign probably takes place in France during the autumn season as the foliage on the vegetation suggest. The German campaign puts the player into the winter setting of Russian hinterlands with limited troops and reinforcements available, thus relying on use of captured Soviet artillery as well as equipment.
The supply trucks would still be needed to repair damages inflicted on these artillery units, however. The supply system has also been tweaked with artillery crews automatically resupplying themselves with ammo crates nearby instead of relying on supply trucks to do the job. Other units which are added into the add-on includes, but not limited to the Universal Carrier for the British the BR-5 artillery, 160mm grenade launcher for the Soviet forces and more. The add-on includes 4 inter-linked scenarios for each of the campaigns for the Germans, the American, the British and the Soviets. The expansion also polished the game engine, balanced the damage of certain units, and added a map and scenario editor. New terrains are also provided: a desert terrain for the British missions in Tobruk and Tripoli and snow terrains for Soviet missions. Sudden Strike Forever was an official add-on to Sudden Strike which introduces many more historically correct units and equipment, such as the upgraded Soviet T-34 tank (1944 version). Damage evaluation is also realistic tanks or other vehicles that take too much damage are rendered immobile unless repairs are made. Units can also hold their fire, providing much-needed reconnaissance.
The game allows units to garrison a building for a stronger firing position, especially valuable for anti-tank infantry. Sudden Strike utilizes accurate in-game physics with houses and buildings obstructing units' view, line-of-sight and firing range whereas clumps of trees can provide cover to reduce the damage of tank ordnance. The battles are presented in an isometric perspective with line-of-sight occlusions and practical cover. The main story features three campaigns ( Soviets, Germans, and Allied forces).
