Our friend Achim Heidelauf (who's also producer when he doesn't waste time updating a site that nobody checks anyway) has updated its website with 3 new screenshots and 5 new 'work in progress' images (all available in our gallery as usual) of Codename: Panzers, showcasing this upcoming 3D tactical combat title in the works at Stormregion. The new screens are the very first including the interface, so be sure to check them. Codename Panzers will be published by CDV in Q2 2004.
Story: Damn! Initial reports from the outpost only showed armored infantry, but some serious hardware is headed our way! How could they miss two German Koenigstiger battle tanks! No time to lay blame, just aim the bazooka and get the tanks from the rear. Only a direct hit will destroy the 70-ton behemoths... Panzers takes you into the heady battles of World War II. Whether you play in towns with bullet-riddled buildings, bleak mountain landscapes or treacherous swamps - Panzers gives you real-time combat rampages in awesome 3D graphics. Create your combat force from over 100 finely detailed units, from a flame-throwing squad over a Soviet Stalin Organ rocket launcher through to a German Koenigstiger battle tank. You are the commander - demolish your enemy by using your skills in war strategy. Experience the nerve-jangling thrill of strategic gaming - in Panzers!
