New Panzer Command: Operation Winter Storm Movie!
East Front WWII Strategy Game Nears Release
For Immediate Release
Staten Island, NY, June 23rd, 2006 - Matrix
Games (www.matrixgames.com) is
pleased to release a new gameplay movie for the upcoming
World War II strategy title from Koios Works (www.koiosworks.com), Panzer Command: Operation
Winter Storm. Koios Works is known for their work on the
acclaimed Tin Soldiers series, which combined battles from
ancient history with 3D strategy gaming. Panzer Command:
Operation Winter Storm will bring the same quality of
gameplay the Tin Soldiers series was known for, this time on
a tactical scale with a World War II setting.
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 excerpts of movement, combat and
an air strike as the Soviet counter-attack drives the Germans
back past the Aksay river in late December, 1942 in the
campaign scenario "The Race to Entrap Hoth".
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.
