Shrapnel Games Invites You To
Join The Navy!

Open Call For War Plan Pacific
Beta Testers!

War is coming to your PC! Vast
flotillas of warships under an umbrella of air power will soon be striking at
bases across the Pacific ocean in a bid for total regional domination in KE
Studios’ debut strategy title, War Plan Pacific. Shrapnel Games is looking for a
few good men (or women, but really, how many women are into grand strategic
wargames?) to ensure smooth sailing. If you’re interested in enlisting in the
USN and IJN for a brief tour of duty before the rest of the world gets in on the
action please read on.

We are looking for additional beta
testers for War Plan Pacific. Interested parties should meet the following
requirements:

  • Possess a computer with at least
    the following minimum specifications: Windows XP/Vista, Celeron 1.6 MHz, 512
    MB RAM, 100 MB free hard drive space, a DirectX 9.0c compatible video card
    capable of rendering at 1024x768x24 bit. Even your grandmother probably has a
    computer capable of participating in the beta test.

  • Have an interest in a Pacific
    theater game that can completed—from Pearl Harbor to the bombing of
    Nagasaki—in a single evening.

  • Be able to fully participate in
    the beta test for approximately three months. Ideally you’ll talk, laugh, and
    cry in the beta forum about the game. Be prepared to vocalize your opinions,
    communicate ideas, and most of all give feedback. Beta testing isn’t all glitz
    and glamour ya know, you’re going to have to work. Of course work being
    playing the game, so it’s definitely not the worst job you’ve ever had.

If you meet the above and want to
give it a shot please write to Annette at
[email protected] 
and put in the subject line "WPP Beta Tester" and acknowledge in the message
body that you meet the requirements. We only have a select number of open slots
so please be aware that participants will be chosen on a first come basis.

If you are chosen as a beta
participant expect the testing period to begin quite soon (as early as within a
week) and you’ll be expected to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement. At the end of
testing not only will you have the satisfaction of helping bring to market a
great title, but you’ll also earn yourself a copy when the game ships.

And remember: Beta testing. It’s not
just a job, it’s an adventure.

War Plan Pacific is a grand
strategic wargame on the Pacific campaign during WWII for the PC. With roots
firmly entrenched in the world of board games, War Plan Pacific is turn-based,
highly playable, and easy to get into. It also just so happens to be playable in
a single setting, something which can’t be said for your average PTO game.

Blending just the right amount of
abstraction with reality, players fight for control of twenty-nine bases,
seeking to achieve victory in either a quick, knock out punch or the long death
of your opponent. Focusing on historical air and naval units (ground control is
represented by sea control) play against the cunning AI or against a live
opponent.
