Boku Strategy Games Goes All
American! Baseball, Airborne Night Drops, and Apple Pie Together At Last!
Shrapnel Games has new
information about All American: The 82nd Airborne in Normandy. Yeah, someplace a
15th century seer is turning over in his grave.
Shrapnel Games is proud to announce
that Boku Strategy Games (The War Engine, the Combat Command 2 series, the Horse
and Musket 1 and 2 series and the oldest Shrapnel Games developer) is now
tweaking the All American code and pushing forward on this highly anticipated
(and yes, highly delayed!) title. While no release date has been set with Boku
focusing on All American developments should now be happening sooner than later.
All American: The 82nd Airborne in
Normandy is the sequel to the blockbuster tactical strategy title, 101st: The
Airborne Invasion of Normandy. Featuring skirmish level play, with players
guiding individual soldiers, All American boasts forty-eight uniquely
characterized troops to command in a variety of scenarios. Based on real world
maps of the Normandy countryside, All American features a high level of
authenticity with thirty- five weapon types researched and modeled, and a combat
result system based on real world wound studies of the Second World War. A
dynamic play structure makes every mission unique, and the ability to play
multiplayer adds to that. All American: The 82nd Airborne in Normandy will be
available for Windows.
But that’s not all that Boku
Strategy Games has cooking! Boku Strategy Games will be entering the board game
side of the business with their first title, "BaseBrawl!!!" BaseBrawl!!! is the
All American game everyone knows and loves, but with the added possibility of a
tad bit of the ol’ ultra-violence. If you’re familiar with baseball then you’ll
have no trouble cranking up a game of BaseBrawl!!!, which plays like the real
thing except you only need a kitchen table to host your own World Series. Three
different layers of rules (Little League, Minor League, and Major League) help
gamers of all ages and abilities quickly learn the game system.
"It’s been a good year for Boku",
says owner Michael Cooney, "Not only have we found resources to continue our
most revered software series, we’re bringing to baseball fans everywhere the
most realistic and fun-to-play tabletop baseball game ever seen. We took a whole
new approach to sports board gaming by concentrating on the mechanics of the
game instead of simply rolling out a whole play. And you get the added bonus of
taking out fielders while running the bases if you want. Who can pass that up?"
Shrapnel Games is currently seeking
beta testers for this exciting and revolutionary sports board game. If you’re
interested please drop beta test coordinator Mindi Arnesen an email at
[email protected] letting her know your interest, any experience you have with beta testing, and
any other relevant information. Those chosen will be notified at a later date.
