Remote Assault Now Shipping!
Shrapnel Games ships 3D Real Time Wargame
Cary, NC, July 31, 2001
Shrapnel Games announced today that
the highly anticipated 3D real time wargame, Remote Assault, will begin shipping
July 31. Due to heavy pre-orders, all backorders are expected to ship by end of
business, August 1st.
Timothy W. Brooks, President of
Shrapnel Games, said, "We received finished product this morning and are
already busy filling backorders. We want those who pre-ordered Remote Assault to
know we are working hard to get the games into the FedEx system. We are adding
some additional labor to insure we get all pre-orders out by end of business
tomorrow. Remote commanders should be directing their forces by weekend."
Remote Assault is a real time 3D
wargame set in the near future that offers many new features never combined in
one single wargame. Some of these features include:
* Fully 3D environment that allows
for full fog of war with true line of sight.
* Customizable AI that allows you to
define how aggressive or passive your units will be upon contact with the enemy.
* Ability to group units in command
structures from as small as squads to as large as groups (of squads). With chain
of command you can issue orders to individual units, squads, or groups.
* Branching campaign structure that
allows you to lose some scenarios and still advance.
* Realistic ballistic modeling on
artillery and tank shells. Shell paths are affected by air resistance.
* Unit damage can be of a limited
nature that may affect only sensors, movement, armor, or weapon systems.
* Hundreds of units can be in battle
at once.
Remote Assault retails for $39.95
and can be purchased directly from Shrapnel Games via their website at http://www.shrapnelgames.com.
A demo is also available from the Shrapnel Games website.
