Eric Young's Squad Assault: West Front shipping to stores.
Matrix Games (http://www.matrixgames.com) is pleased to announce that Eric Young's Squad Assault: West Front by Freedom Games (http://www.freedomgamesinc.com) has completed production, is shipping and will be available for purchase in the next few days through major software retailers and online stores.
David Heath, Director of Operations for Matrix Games, said "It's always exciting to ship a new game out to wargamers around the world and particularly so in this case. We're confident that Squad Assault: West Front will raise the bar for 3D tactical wargames and exceed the expectations and anticipation that have preceded its release."
In Squad Assault: West Front, you command troops in both the Allied and German Armies of the West Front of World War II in an immersive full 3-D continuous time environment. Squad Assault: West Front features detailed models for all the major armies that fought in France in 1944, including American, German, British, Canadian, and Free French.
For those who prefer traditional turn-oriented play, a sixty second auto-pause feature for order entry and battlefield assessment allows for a more thoughtful game. A 2D overhead map view with order entry is also available for those who prefer to see the battle from above.
Once the battle starts, the virtual soldiers you command respond with real reactions to the combat situations around them. This psychological modeling combines with unsurpassed detail in terrain, weather, weapons, vehicles, and armor penetration to make Squad Assault: West Front a riveting recreation of World War II tactical combat.
Multi-player options for head to head play via TCP/IP / LAN are included.
The game features both historical and hypothetical scenarios and detailed maps from actual topographical data in an immersive World War II 3-D environment.
