Staten Island, NY, May 25th,
2005 - Matrix Games (www.matrixgames.com) and Strategic
Studies Group (SSG) (www.ssg.com.au) announced
that the next game in the Decisive Battles Series, Battles in Italy, is now available for
purchase from the Matrix Games web store.
Battles in Italy brings the
award-winning series to three pivotal battles:
Sicily (Operation Husky), Salerno (Operation Avalanche), and the unfortunate
Operation Shingle, the invasion at Anzio.
Battles in Italy is an operational
wargame that takes you to three of the toughest fought battles in the
Mediterranean -- the invasions of Sicily,
Salerno, and Anzio.
You are given complete control of either the allies or the axis armies
and must utilize strategy and tactics to overcome your opponent. All three campaigns incorporate many new
improvements and enhancements to the Decisive Battles series. Some of these updates include rules for
surrender, political units, cooperation between countries, and improved
amphibious invasions!
The Decisive Battles of World
War II Series has won a number of awards, including War Game of the Year from
both Computer Gaming World and Gamespy, Editor's Choice from PC Gamer, and The
Wargamer's Award for Excellence. The
series features an operational setting with an easy to use interface. The game is approachable by beginners and
masters with customizable AI options to give any skill level a run for their
money. Battles in Italy comes
with an extended tutorial to help new players get started.
