World in Flames Takes Over!
.gif)
There are things in life that sometimes border on perfection and we simply cannot believe they can get better. In the wargaming market, there is a boardgame that in many ways can be referenced as THE Wargame, thanks to its scope, its realism, the passion of the massive community that plays it and the keen and accurate design: World in Flames.
There is perhaps only one challenge - finding the space and time to play it!
After a decade of development by a team that is devoted to World in Flames and has spared no effort to bring it accurately and faithfully to the computer, Matrix Games, along with Australian Design Group (www.a-d-g.com.au), is going to introduce you to a whole new way of playing World in Flames with this long-awaited computer version!
However, World in Flames for the computer is not just for computer wargame! The game is only available in physical format and includes three Hardbound Full Color reference volumes and an optional Map Pack. The hardbound volumes are as follows: - Player's Manual Vol. 1 & Vol 2 (They cover the interface and gameplay of the officially licensed Matrix Games World in Flames computer game forming a complete reference on how to play the game). These are full color hardbound manuals totaling 552 pages, more comprehensive than any game manual we've done in the past!
- The Rules as Coded (it follows the structure of the World in Flames as Written, providing a complete reference of the WiF rules as implemented in the officially licensed computer game. Players can also use this as a rule book for tabletop play). This is also a full color hardbound volume totaling 192 pages and is an invaluable reference which gives you the entire combined Rules as Coded at your fingertips for computer or tabletop play.
There is more though. The optional Map Pack: the global consistent scale and tabletop-playable WIF map! Players for the first time can purchase an entire new set of full color WiF maps at 90 kilometers per hex (70,200 hexes)! The maps are identical to the in-game maps in look and match the hex scale of the board game maps so that they can be used with the board game counter set. These are the first global contiguous WIF maps to date! All at the same consistent scale, they cover the entire Globe in 24 sections printed in full-color heavy stock gloss paper. You can use the sections separately or connect them for the full global map. Total size of the map is height 9ft (2.7 meters) and length 21ft (6.4 meters). That's nearly 200 square feet of map! There are thousands of units with quantified historical capabilities from 250 countries with 8 major powers. World in Flames is a detailed simulation of all of World War II and the interactions between land, sea, and air forces on a global scale. Visit the dedicated Forum Page to see a full collection of pictures featuring the Books and the Maps and get an idea of the reaction of the players to this awesome package. YOu can also see the 3D rendering of the complete World Map and enjoy the "Seven Moments of Wow" to have an inside look at the game, get some hints and find out more about it.  You can find much more information on World in Flames from its official page or if you don't want to miss the chance to be part of a milestone in Wargaming History by playing Matrix Games' World in Flames...

Conflict of Heroes: Storms of Steel Available!
The Conflict of Heroes' series moves to Kursk! Thanks to Western Civilization Software (www.west-civ.com) the digital version of Conflict of Heroes: Storms of Steel, is ready to test your tactical skills with this new stand-alone release which can also install as an expansion for Conflict of Heroes: Awakening the Bear.
If you already own Conflict of Heroes: Awakening the Bear you can use your Awakening the Bear serial number as a coupon to get a $10 discount on Storms of Steel!
Based directly on the original boardgame, the game relives the pivotal battles of Operation Citadel, when the German Army tried to overcome the Soviet forces around Kursk in the last major German offensive on the Eastern Front in 1943. The clash of the full might of the two warring powers culminated in the largest tank battle in history, outside Prokhorovka, where 900 Soviet tanks charged 600 German panzers to neutralize the German long range advantage. The result cost Germany the strategic initiative and helped turn the war in favor of the Allies.
Conflict of Heroes: Storms of Steel puts you in command of the fast-paced and fiery firefights of the Battle of Kursk and allows you to make the tactical choices and experience the challenges of this massive and decisive battle. It adds fifteen new firefights, new terrain types, over fifty new units like New AT Guns, Marders, Panzers, troop transports, Panthers, Tigers, T-70's, Grenadier Squads, and much more along with new rules for fighters and sniper units.
Please note: Conflict of Heroes: Storms of Steel is a stand-alone game and DOESN'T REQUIRE ownership of Conflict of Heroes: Awakening the Bear. It will also work as an expansion if you already own Conflict of Heroes: Awakening the Bear.

Battle Academy: Fortress Metz Released !
One of the most critically-acclaimed tactical wargames, Battle Academy, adds a new recruit to its ranks: Fortress Metz.
Metz, located in Lorraine, has for centuries been an historic garrison town. After its annexation to Germany following the Battle of France in 1940, it became a stronghold for the Third Reich and a major target for the Allied forces.
Following the Normandy landings, the U.S. Third Army under the command of General George S. Patton attacked the city fortifications and, after four months of fighting, broke through and freed Metz from occupation in late 1944.
With new Panzer Brigades and units like the Hummel, Sdkfz 234/1 armored cars and more, Fortress Metz is a must-have expansion for any wargamer interested in the period!
The game is available for PC & Mac and on iPad as an in-app purchase.
We are also releasing the v2.5 patch for Battle Academy which includes new units, objects, tiles from the Fortress Metz campaign, memory optimization, AI and multiplayer stability improvements, bug fixes and much more!
You can download the patch here. iPad users can get the update via iTunes.
A full change list can be found here.
Fortress Metz is an add-on for Battle Academy and requires Battle Academy to play!
Get more information about Battle Academy: Fortress Metz on its official product page.
