(press release)
October 17, 2006 - Matrix Games, www.matrixgames.com, and SSG, www.ssg.com.au, are proud to announce the recreation of a wargame classic. Carriers at War will be coming to Matrix Games later this year. The game is a simulation of fleet carrier air and naval operations in the Pacific theater from 1941 to 1945.
David Heath, Director of Operations at Matrix Games said, ?Our goal as a company is not just to find new products, but to help restore some of the greatest of the past. SSG's long lines of incredible games are always a welcome addition to this effort.?
Carriers at War focuses heavily on carrier fleet command strategy. Other units are represented and play a part in battle, but as the title suggests the queen of the sea is the focus.
Features include:
* Command carriers in the greatest naval engagements of World War 2, including Pearl Harbor, Midway, Coral Sea, Eastern Solomons, and more.
* Multiplayer games over the Internet or a LAN.
* Historically Accurate Ship and Aircraft Profiles
