sent out a press release announcing that
Great Battles of
World War II: Stalingrad (Q&A),
their historical military realtime strategy game by DTF Games, has gone gold.
The game will be released in Europe in March 2005 in a special edition box
containing a 64 page full color manual and an interactive war encyclopedia
dedicated to Stalingrad battle.
The plot of the game unfolds during the period of July 1942 - January 1943
and tells the story of one of the most dramatic episodes of World War II.
Featuring two detailed campaigns, the game will let the player take command over
Wehrmacht and lead the German forces into the city, then switch to the Red Army
and liberate the Soviet stronghold from the occupants and obliterate the 6th
Army under the command of Gen. Paulus. In contrast to many other RTS games out
there, each mission in "Great Battles of World War II: Stalingrad" is created
with historical authenticity in mind and with reference to the actual place and
time to real events that took place during the war. Besides, the missions are
created in such a way that campaigns give an authentic picture of events at the
theatre of war operations.
The Battle of Stalingrad became the turning point of World War II and one of the
largest battles in the Eastern Front. Combat operations were spread over the
territory of more than 100 sq. kilometers large, with over 2 million people
involved in separate episodes on both sides.
Features:
- 36 missions spanning the Wehrmacht and Red Army campaigns, 7 secret missions
revealing little-known facts about the Battle of Stalingrad.
- Accurate reconstruction of historical events, turning the game into a
interactive encyclopedia
- In-game map landscapes are based upon tactical maps and actual WWII aerial
photography
- Over 150 different infantry and armored vehicle units, created according to
blueprints, dozens of unique buildings modeled based on actual footage:
Stalingrad railway station, grain elevator, department store, the House of
Specialists, and the Red October plant.
- Vehicles, weapons and military forces never seen before in historical RTS
games, including the experimental Panzerselbstfahrlafette V "Sturer Emil"
howitzer, PZB-41/28 anti-tank gun, and the armored assault infantry of the Red
Army.
- Significant changes to the Blitzkrieg's combat system, aimed at a new level of
combat realism: shooting range and line of sight for infantry and armored units
have been increased, artillery fire made less accurate, new parameters for
infantry and armored units.
- Original dub-metal soundtrack performed by St. Petersburg band "SKAFANDR"
-New in-game interface
