"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. Tour
of Duty ’44 and Armies of Armageddon: WDK 2K (which is
necessary to play Tour of Duty ’44) is available for ordering
