14 DAY TRIAL // No, it's not the novel written by Justin Richards and based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who going gold, but the real-time-strategy game by the creator of IL-2 Sturmovik and Combat Mission, Battlefront. With Theatre of War, PC gamers will command hundreds of different unit types in 5 historical campaigns (US/UK, Soviet, German, French and Polish), in fierce battles of World War II between the years 1939-1945. But don't click away just yet, because this isn't your ordinary WW II real-time-strategy click-fest, but a thrilling Real Time Combat Simulator with an emphasis on realism and detail, and real world military tactics - a challenge even to veterans of the genre.
Due to the high demand and large number of pre-orders, Battlefront has multiplied its file hosting capacity by partnering with Fileburst, one of the leading high volume data delivery service providers on the market, all this in an effort to deliver the anticipated download bandwidth required especially for the first days of release. Theatre of War will be released on April 19, 2007, initially via digital delivery from Battlefront's download portal and a couple of weeks later in a DVD version with printed manual available by mail. Theatre of War is not sold in stores as Battlefront have their "independent publisher" policy. The demo for Theatre of War will also be released for download in just a few days.
You be the judge of Battlefront's work, whether it's just another WW II strategy game or a totally different and improved vision of the deadliest conflict in human history, with advanced gameplay options and tactics that'd surprise even Hitler and The Allied Forces.
