Matrix Games and Koios Works
are pleased to announce their newest World War II 3D Tactical game,
Panzer Command: Operation Winter Storm, is now available from the
Matrix Games website and available live at the Origins Game Convention
in Columbus Ohio.
Panzer Command: Operation Winter Storm is a 3D
simultaneous turn based strategy game where you command either the
Soviet or German forces during the desperate attempt to reach the
encircled German 6th Army at Stalingrad. Each side has detailed 3D
units of the historical vehicles and squads, from Panzer IIIs and T-34s
to PanzerGrenadiers, Artillery and Air Strikes. Two campaigns (one
German, one Soviet) tie the scenarios together, allowing core units to
progress from battle to battle, gaining experience, medals and special
abilities. A point system allows players to "purchase" additional units
for each mission in the campaign as well as replace losses, forcing
decisions on management of resources.
The design for Operation
Winter Storm lets first time users sit down and start playing, while
allowing hard-core gamers to enjoy the realism and historical accuracy.
All campaign battles can also be fought as individual scenarios and two
separate skirmish scenarios are included for maximum replayability. The
AI can control either side in each battle and a full Play-by-Email
system allows for head to head play.
Panzer Command: Operation
Winter Storm is also the first 3D tactical WWII game where the unit and
weapon data as well as the unit art is stored in easily accessible
formats to enable mod support and customized scenarios and campaigns
post-release.
