Blue Byte Software Launches Forum At Battle Isle: The Andosia War Website

A discussion forum is now available for strategy fans on the WebPages for Blue Byte's forthcoming conflict simulation, BATTLE ISLE: THE ANDOSIA WAR (http://www.battleisle.com). The forum invites strategy fans to get together and discuss the current state of development and the progress of the fifth game in the Battle Isle universe, scheduled for release Q3-2000.

Wolfgang Walk, project manager of BATTLE ISLE: THE ANDOSIA WAR, will be personally participating in the forum from time to time to answer questions about the Battle Isle sequel and to release the latest snippets of information.

The postings in the forum are particularly important to Blue Byte. Ideas, suggestions and opinions that are shared within the forum are often used in the development stages of our games.

Countdown...9 Days until E3

See Blue Byte Software presenting Battle Isle: The Andosia War (http://www.battleisle.com), The Settlers IV (http://www.settlers4.com) and Dragon's Lair 3D (http://www.dragonslair3d.com) at booth 2408 in the West Hall.
