Description
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!
Armchair General Magazine: "...the real point to the game is good old-fashioned war game goodness, and this is where the game stands out. With Battlefront, SSG has given us a game that will appeal to a broad war gaming audience and stay on many hard-drives, for many years to come."
Gamershall (auf Deutsch): (translated) "SSG has for years consistently brought good games to the market. They succeed yet again."
