– Matrix Games http://www.matrixgames.com
is pleased to announce that a new patch and demo version of Eric Young’s Squad
Assault: West Front by Freedom Games
http://www.freedomgamesinc.com has been completed and would be available for
download today after 3:00 pm EST.
David Heath, Director of Operations
for Matrix Games, said “Squad Assault: West Front is a cross-genre title because
of its combination of excellent 3D visuals with realistic combined arms tactics.
We decided that a demo would be the best way to let both wargamers and 3D combat
fans experience what Squad Assault is really all about. Download it and find out
for yourself if Squad Assault is for you.”
In the demo for Squad Assault: West
Front, 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. Two
scenarios are included along with online multi-player capability. In addition,
this demo is based on the latest version of Squad Assault, which is now
available in the form of a separate update for existing owners.
Rated 86% in the latest PC Gamer,
Squad Assault: West Front is a riveting re-creation of World War II tactical
combat. 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.
