PRESS RELEASE
WARGAME AIRLAND BATTLE: US TROOPS LOCKED AND LOADED!
The American units revealed in screenshots
While players have been fighting daily since last week’s launch of the early access multiplayer Beta of Wargame AirLand Battle, today we’re revealing the American units to fans around the world through a series of 5 new screenshots.
The sequel to the spectacular real-time strategy game Wargame European Escalation presents, through these new screenshots, one of the major armed force in the world. A member of NATO, the United States represent one of the two biggest striking force in Wargame AirLand Battle with USSR. Thanks to their large selection of units (over 130 in the game), the United States are able to face about any kind of situation on the battlefield.
We can see on the screenshots some of the new units the US have deployed, such as the fearsome M50 Ontos and its 6 antitank cannons, the famous Humvee and its many variants, or some of the new helicopters such as the Supercobra. The US Air Force and the Navy also brought their forces. Among them, some of the most emblematic aircraft: the F-14 Tomcat, the F-15 Eagle and its variants, and the F-16 Fighting Falcon, among others. And if you ever feel the urge to turn the ground into hell… the stealth bomber F-117 Nighthawk will most certainly bring a smile of satisfaction to your face!
Wargame Airland Battle is currently under early access Beta phase. The game will be available on PC in May 2013.
About Wargame AirLand Battle
Released in early 2012, Wargame: European Escalation by Eugen Systems managed to become the new benchmark in real-time strategy games, praised by critics and players alike. Wargame: AirLand Battle is about to bring the series to the next level as a full-fledged sequel!
Between 1975 and 1985, war between NATO and the Warsaw Pact is still raging, reaching Northern Europe, notably Scandinavia, whose architecture magnificent landscapes are faithfully recreated in the game. While the first Wargame made quite an impression with its powerful engine, Wargame: AirLand Battle is making a huge leap forward with its visuals, bringing a level of detail never before seen in a real-time strategy game. Flat relief and lack of variety is now a thing of the past, as the new version of the IRISZOOM EngineTM displays spectacular graphics, with a huge variety of units, scenery and impressive topography reproduced from satellite maps.
Command all the military resources of the Cold War era, from tanks to planes which make an outstanding entrance in the series! A total of 150 planes strengthen the playable arsenal of the game, from fighters to bombers to electronic warfare planes. Four new nations and their vehicles join the original eight from the first game, making a total of over 750 vehicles and combat units rendered in realistic detail with new textures! In Wargame: AirLand Battle, realism is also strengthened thanks to a new weapons system, better handling of fire and its effects, and a new Urban Combat Interface (UCI) allowing for battle inside cities block by block to take them over.
The solo part of the game is composed of several new dynamic campaigns, during which you will manage all aspects of the battle. Lead each squad of the Theatre of Operation, and make good use of your reinforcements and strategic support. Each decision you make has an impact on the tactical outcome of battles, and also impacts the evolution of the global conflict!Wargame: AirLand Battle still allows you to customize your own army in solo and multiplayer modes, thanks to the ‘Deck’ system, which is now being enhanced with an integrated ‘viewer’.
