Great RTS strategy, not for North America?

There are moments like this one when I really can't understand the mechanism that makes the entire gaming industry work. We have tons of at least below average games released all over the world on a monthly basis, yet some games that really look great, seem great and couldn't be less than great have problems finding publishers. It's the case of War Leaders: Clash of Nations from the unknown (yet) developers Enigma SP. But listen to me: this game is going to rock! Just check the screenshots below.

Fortunately, some publishers were smart enough to see the potential of this game, as it will already be released in the Eastern Europe and Taiwan by Atari, while other companies will publish it in the German, French and Japanese territories. However, North American territories are totally missing and it would be a real shame if this game wouldn't get a worldwide launch... Hopefully, things will change.

The biggest drawback of War Leaders: Clash of Nations is the fact that it comes with a rather cliche story and it is based on the ever-present World War II: players will be allowed to become one of the seven most important nation leaders during those times and decide the outcome of the war. But, apart from that, we only have good news.

Without modesty (and hopefully there is a reason not to be modest), the developers present their game as the most "comprehensive PC game of all times on the subject of the Second World War". The gameplay will be the main reason you'll love the game (and close behind that will be the visual aspect): it will be extremely varied, coming with two clearly differentiated but integrated manager parts (a turn-based army construction phase and so on) and an RTS part . Just have in mind that the game comes with 250 different units, 41 different maps and 175 real regions all over the world waiting for you to explore and use. So this game is absolutely hot - and, for those living in the territories mentioned before, it is already shipping to game stores as we speak.
