Matrix Games To Publish Koios Works’ Tin Soldiers: Alexander The Great!
New Wargame with a Classic Style Covers Alexander the Great Conquests
Staten Island, NY, June 21st, 2004 – Matrix Games is pleased
to announce that it has secured the rights to publish Koios Works’ (www.koiosworks.com)
innovative new wargame, Tin Soldiers: Alexander the Great, which is
scheduled to be previewed at Origins 2004 this week (http://www.originsgames.com).
Tin Soldiers: Alexander the Great is a turn-based, simultaneous-play
wargame with a classic feel and a reaction system to allow mid-turn
adjustments to strategy. Aside from covering the most famous conqueror in all
of history, Tin Soldiers: Alexander the Great also presents the
wargamer with a unique miniatures-oriented feel with graphics of hand-drawn,
individually adorned soldiers.
David Heath, Director of Operations at Matrix Games, said “When we started
playing Tin Soldiers: Alexander the Great, we were impressed by the
look and feel and hooked by the gameplay. We knew that wargamers needed to
get their hands on this title sooner rather than later and we’re delighted to
welcome Koios Works to the Matrix Games community.”
Kevin Albright, President of Koios Works commented, “After discussions with
several publishers, we decided on Matrix Games based on their familiarity with
the strategy and wargaming market and their focus on quality gameplay combined
with high production values. We’ve aimed very high with Tin Soldiers:
Alexander the Great and we plan to hit the mark.”
Tin Soldiers: Alexander the Great is a visually breath-taking
entertainment title placing the player in the role of Alexander the Great
during his conquest of the known world. Guide Alexander through his grand
campaign from inheriting his father’s mantle at the battle of Thebes to his
conquest of Darius III and the Persian Empire and last great battle at the
Hydaspes. The battlefields of Alexander’s campaigns are illustrated in
beautiful 3-D views with historically accurate battle scenarios and troop
placements. The game also provides a number of cut scenes that provide an
entertaining, educational, non-fiction storyline as the campaign unfolds.
