Richard

"As everyone is probably aware of by now, WDK 2K allows
anybody
to create a new game with a simple change of art and game
rules.
In July we announced our Wargame Development Kit Mod
Program
whereby would-be game developers could submit mods to us
for
possible publishing deals. We are pleased to announce our
first
Mod under this program: Tour of Duty ’44. Classic WWII
squad
level combat, surrounded by great graphics and sound.
Ed
Marshall, the designer of the module, has created an awesome
expansion
pack that will appeal to all WWII fans as well as
WDK
2K fans!"
Tour
of Duty ’44 includes a complete 21-scenario campaign
following
a US Infantry platoon from D-day to St. Lo,
15
types of vehicles and 30 plus types of infantry, new rules
to
handle WWII combat, and the ability to create your own
battles
using the Tour of Duty ’44 graphics and sounds.

of Duty ’44 and Armies of Armageddon: WDK 2K (which
