The official Squad Assault: West Front website has been updated with 35 new screenshots (also available in our gallery), showcasing this upcoming WWII strategy game in the works at Freedom Games (G.I. Combat). The game will be published in September 2003 by Matrix Games (in North America) and GMX Media (in Europe).
In Squad Assault: West FrontTM, you command troops in both the Allied and German Armies of the West Front of World War II in an immersive full 3-D continuous time environment. Squad Assault: West FrontTM features detailed models for all the major armies that fought in France in 1944, including American, German, British, Canadian, and Free French. For those who prefer traditional turn-oriented play, a user defined auto-pause feature for order entry and battlefield assessment allows for a more thoughtful game. A 2D overhead map view with order entry is also available for those who prefer to see the battle from above. Once the battle starts, the virtual soldiers you command respond with real reactions to the combat situations around them. This psychological modeling combines with unsurpassed detail in terrain, weather, weapons, vehicles, and armor penetration to make Squad Assault: West FrontTM a riveting recreation of World War II tactical combat. Multi-player options for head to head play via TCP/IP / LAN are included.
