Description

Game Genre : Tactical, Operational
Complexity : Intermediate
Game Theatre : World War II
Play Style : Turn-Based IGOUGO - Top Down

Your troops await your orders…

Battlefront features the power of battalion-level combat in some of this period’s most bloody and intense conflicts: Saipan, Market Garden, Novorossisk, and Gazala. Players will have realistic control over their soldiers, with a tactical scale just large enough to make a telling difference in the strategic picture.

Immerse yourself in Battlefront for the PC. While the Battlefront system shares a design philosophy with SSG’s award-winning Decisive Battles series, it is actually an entirely new system specifically designed for battalion-level combat. This level of play gives the player a chance to experience the true issues of command, control, sighting, and supply at a level that emphasizes plenty of tough decisions to make as the great generals of that era had to deal with. The combat system provides new and varied ways to damage your opponent, with provisions for direct and indirect fire, air strikes, and special, historically accurate combat modes (such as Japanese Banzai attacks). Deploy your troops and take command of the Battlefront!

Game Features:

Improved Strategic AI enables a more flexible response to fast changing battlefields
Improved user interface simplifies unit information
Command and control system that rewards correct employment of military assets
Close combat routines have special attack modes such as Banzai, Surprise and Infiltration.
Indirect Fire from artillery and air assets can directly attack enemy units.
Direct fire from AFVs can attack enemy units at range.
Counter-battery fire can eliminate enemy artillery.
Eliminated units can be rebuilt as cadres and returned to battle
Sighting, command, supply and danger zone rules encourage sensible use of artillery
Complete Unit, Map and AI editor allows users to create scenarios from scratch
Improved Play By Email security
