Battlefront.com is excited to announce Combat Mission: Afrika Korps!

Combat Mission: Afrika Korps (CM:AK) will be the next game in the Combat Mission series. Based on the award winning engine of Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin (Wargame of the Year 2003 - Computer Gaming World; Turn Based Strategy Game of the Year – PC Gamer), it introduces a number of important upgrades and changes relevant for the fighting in the North African deserts, the Italian mountains and the island of Crete, such as multi-turreted tanks, dust and smoke kicked up by moving vehicles and much more.

Combat Mission: Afrika Korps is a 1-2 player, hybrid turn-based/realtime 3D simulation of WWII tactical warfare in parts of the Mediterranean Theater including North Africa, Italy, Sicily and Crete from 1940 to 1945.

Experience combat in a full 3D battlefield as machinegun tracers arc overhead and exploding artillery shells shake the earth! Watch the famous Deutsches Afrika Korps storm the fortress of Tobruk, or help the US and British forces defend against powerful German counterstrikes at Anzio. Fight with the elite German Fallschirmjäger units in Crete, or follow General Patton's sweep across the island of Sicily.

Release date is expected to be Quarter 4, 2003, and the price will be less than $40. The game will be available from Battlefront.com worldwide, including Europe.
