Bang! Howdy Public Beta Test in May

Three Rings announced that the public beta for Bang! Howdy, a multiplayer online tactical strategy game for the PC, will start in May 2006. The game is a hybrid between turn-based and realtime strategy. Players use winnings earned as they play, along with a micro-currency system, to purchase and customize persistent Big Shot units, which influence their play-style and strategies in future games. As the player progresses through five unique Wild West settings, new units, gameplay scenarios, arenas, customizations and game features are introduced. Check the press release for more details.
