Matrix Starts Shipping Three Titles

December 20th, 2001 Staten Island, New York  

Matrix starts shipping three of its five December lineup.  The new games that span from Napoleon’s glittering armies to deadly combat above far-flung worlds.

“Sales have been very strong,” says David Heath, Director of Operations for Matrix. “Gamers want a choice and that is what we gave them, there is something here for everyone.”

The titles shipping includes:

La Grande Armee at Austerlitz. The first in a series of Napoleonic designs, Austerlitz uses a no-hexagon map and 3-D views to capture the thunder and glory of Napoleon’s greatest victory. http://www.matrixgames.com/games/austerlitz/index.asp

Starships Unlimited: Divided Galaxies. Take command of a stellar empire in this exciting game that combines the flow of pausable real-time simulations with the detailed control of turn-based games.  http://www.matrixgames.com/games/starshipsunlimited2/index.asp

Fortress Europe. Command the Allies armies storming Hitler’s Atlantic Wall in this real-time game of the Normandy campaign. Not an RTS, Fortress Europe has the detail that wargamers love and the simplicity that makes it a perfect choice for those new to computer wargaming.  http://www.matrixgames.com/games/fortresseurope/index.asp

Wargamers are also looking forward to Uncommon Valor.  This is the latest game from legendary designer Gary Grigsby, is an operational-level simulation of the campaign for the South Pacific from 1942 to the end of 1943. Players will have at their disposal every ship and plane that fought in that bitter duel between the Allies and Japan.
