Matrix Games to
Publish La Grande Armee At Austerlitz
October 24th, 2001 Staten Island, New York
The color and grandeur of
Napoleon’s great battle comes alive in real-time 3D as Matrix Games teams with
French designer Jean Michel Mathe of HistWar (http://www.histwar.com)
to publish the La Grande Armee Campaign series. Players have a chance to
display their command skills as they lead armies ranging from 10,000 to
100,000 men. La Grande Armee At Austerliz will be the first in a series of
Napoleonic battles we will cover.
“The tactics and style of
play can not be found in any other Napoleonic game.” says Matrix Director of
Operations David Heath. “La Grande Armee Campaign series aims to reconstruct
the main confrontations of the Napoleonic period from 1805 to 1815. Everything
has been done to make this game as precise and realistic as possible.”
“Napoleonic fans can start
getting ready for something totally new.” says Mathe. “Matrix Games has the
talent and the proven fan base to help us launch our game series the way we
want.”
Details of the La Grande
Armee At Austerlitz can be found at

Wargamers are also looking
forward to two other Matrix titles that should be released this Winter.
Uncommon Valor, the latest game from legendary designer Gary Grigsby, is an
operational-level simulation of the campaign for the South Pacific from 1942
to the end of 1943. Players will have at their disposal every ship and plane
that fought in that bitter duel between the Allies and Japan. Also forthcoming
is Starships Unlimited II, a space exploration and colonization strategy game
combining the flow of real-time strategy games with the detailed control of
turn-based games.
