Free bonus content - Take Command: 2nd Manassas
New York, USA (May 4, 2006) - Paradox
Interactive announced today that extra content for Take
Command: 2nd Manassas is now available through the start menu
of the retail and download version of the game! Players will
be able to enjoy two extra scenarios at the click of a
button.
"Cannon and Thunder" - Reno's Corps
Historically, the Battle of Chantilly was fought as a series
of disconnected attacks by the Union forces. In this
scenario, you play as Major General Jesse L. Reno. You will
have command of all of the historically accurate Union
forces. It is your choice to follow history or your own ideas
of how it ought to have been done. Do you have what it takes
to keep your cool amid cannon fire and thunder? Take
Command!
"Meeting at Ox Hill" - Jackson's Corps
This is a speculative scenario assuming that Major General
Pope had acted on the intelligence that Jackson and
Longstreet were separated. If General Pope had tried for a
knockout blow against Jackson's Corps, this is what might
have happened. You command as Major General Thomas J. Jackson
against all the forces that the Union can scrape up to attack
your position. Can your troops hold against the Union attacks
at Ox Hill? Take Command!
