Combat Mission Ships to Wargamers Around the World!
Battlefront.com
proudly announces that it has begun to ship the much-anticipated
Combat Mission: Beyond Overlord. Over two years in the making,
Combat Mission is about to set a new standard for squad-level tactical
combat simulation with its fully-immersive 3-D battlefield environment,
innovative turn-based orders/real-time action hybrid gameplay,
powerful AI, and unparalleled historical accuracy.
Set
in World War Two’s western front, from D-Day in June 1944 to the end of
the war in 1945, Combat Mission features the armed forces of six nations,
50 heavy weapons, 126 armored and combat vehicles, 50 scenarios (including
battles and full-scale operations), an accurate physics model, paratroops
and elite forces, full scenario editor, random battle generator,
air strikes, artillery and rocket bombardments, weather conditions,
night combat, 45 types of terrain, 6 levels of soldier experience,
extensive weapon and vehicle data on-screen, compatible Windows
and Macintosh versions, and more. A further internet-play TCP/IP patch
is currently in the works and will be made available for free download
later this summer.
Excitement
in the strategy gaming community is palpable. Battlefront’s internet
message forum already has nearly 60,000 posts from would-be battalion
commanders who can’t wait to jump into a Tiger (or Sherman, or Comet),
or spearhead an infantry assault, leading their platoons into the front
lines. Demand for the Combat Mission Gold Demo (released on May 8th)
was so heavy that it nearly overwhelmed the battlefront.com server! Combat
Mission: Beyond Overlord is sold exclusively over the internet at www.battlefront.com.
