CDV Lifts The Fog Of War!

Tips and tricks for real time blockbuster Sudden Strike.

Posted by Staff
Anyone who is finding that the fog of war is just a little too opaque at times, will welcome the publication of Sudden Strike: The Official Strategy Guide. This 120-page book will help anyone stuck in CDV's hit strategy game Sudden Strike, with invaluable tips and tactics direct from the developers of the game.

The book is lavishly illustrated with screenshots and maps to help the player pinpoint the precise moves needed to secure victory. In many cases, Sudden Strike: The Official Strategy Guide clearly explains the reasons behind suuccessful manoeuvres and how broad strategies will help the player generally, as well as giving specific detail for those trickier situations.

Sometimes it pays to fight dirty - there are hints and strategies here that are definitely not to be found in any manual. Those who just want help that is relevant for any military scenario in the game can refer to the extensive tactics section which explains strategies which can be used effectively throughout the game. There is also a pictorial guide to all the units - personnel, weaponry and vehicles - used in the game, for anyone who is having trouble with identification.

All Sudden Strike's three campaigns - Allied, German and Russian - is covered fully, with each of the total of 69 missions explored, including the 20 on the bonus free mission disk which is included in every copy of Sudden Strike sold. The Strategy Guide also covers Sudden Strike's Multiplay feature, and how to make the most of the 22 different multiplay maps that are included.

Published by Mission Possible, Sudden Strike: The Official Strategy Guide will go on sale in the first week of December, priced at £9.99.

Sudden Strike, the award-winning real time strategy game based on World War II, went straight into the German charts at number 1, and has been in the ChartTrack PC top ten since its launch in October 2000. With 49 missions based around the battlefields of Europe, Sudden Strike gives you the chance to test your strategic mettle in an Allied, German or Russian campaign. As a multiplayer game, Sudden Strike offers a wealth of options against human opponents for the ultimate challenge. Sudden Strike is available from all major computer game stores at £34.99.
