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 all the historical vehicles and units,
from tanks to riflemen. 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. Another great element is a point
system which allows players to "purchase" additional units
for each mission in the campaign as well as replace losses,
forcing decisions on management of resources.
The new gameplay movie shows approximately a minute of
movement and combat between German and Soviet armored forces
near the village of Verkhne-Kumsky during December,
1942.
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. The AI
can control either side and a full Play-by-Email system
allows for head to head play. The unit and weapon data as
well as the unit art is store in easily accessible formats to
enable mod support and customized scenarios
post-release.

Panzer Command: Operation Winter Storm and all of the
upcoming Matrix products.
Panzer Command: Operation Winter Storm is expected to release
in June, 2006.
