In a bit of a surprise, Steam has just provided its users with a free demo for Order of War, the upcoming WWII RTS game from developer Wargaming.net and publisher Square Enix. There's little info on what the demo itself contains on Steam's web site other than it's single player only.

Order of War has received little press and publicity since it was first announced by Square Enix last April as their first game working with a Western developer (this was shortly before their deal to buy Western publisher Eidos was finalized). The full game is due for release in late September. We will try to get a stand alone demo from Wargaming.net and/or Square Enix so we can have it available here at Big Download.
