Matrix Games and Adanac Command Studies have recently made the big announcement that Guns of August is out in the wild and ready to eat some of your PC's RAM. In this game, players will be able to experience the thrill of commanding massive wave assaults on the trenches of WWI, or race in the laboratories to develop new armor units and tip the balance of power in their favor in this highly anticipated turn-based grand strategy title.

As the official report informs, Guns of August puts players in command of waging World War I at a grand strategic scale from Paris to Baghdad. The entire Western, Eastern, Italian and Balkan fronts are included as are the three fronts of the Ottoman Empire. Production, Combat, Diplomacy, Research, Trenches, Fog of War - Land, Sea and Air combat are all included too! Use land units like infantry corps complete with separate artillery units for precisely directing barrages on the enemy's line.

"Guns of August presents World War I fans with an elegant and innovative design so that they can engage in one of the world's most intense conflicts in a fun and addicting way," said David Heath, Director of Operations at Matrix Games. "I for one am particularly glad that I can still wage the First World War in all its strategic intrigue without having to worry about getting trench foot!"

As time goes on, players must deal with changing combat situations like the introduction of Stossstruppen and even mighty tanks charging through lines to break through the stalemate! Guns of August fully supports a robust AI to fight against or play by email.

If you need more information on Guns of August, by all means, do check out its official Matrix Games webpage and remember that the game has just launched. What are you waiting for? Go get your own copy!
