Panzer Tactics DS: Second Video Special Sighted

Developers present details on how to lead over 150 different types of units

Darmstadt, October 15th 2007 - Panzer Tactics DS is the first authentic, turn-based Second World War strategy game for the Nintendo DS and is a game of unprecedented depth. In the second release in the "Training films for future generals" series the developers show the variety found in the more than 150 different units and how they are controlled. The basic tips offered by Game Designer Christoph Quas from the Austrian development studio Sproing are not only valuable for the 30 nerve-wracking historical single-player missions, but are also important in multi-player battles with up to 4 players.

The video is available for download effective immediately at www.panzertactics.de!

In the coming weeks the next two videos will give an in-depth look at the special commando units and officers, and the games' comprehensive multi-player modes. Panzer Tactics DS is due to be released in the fourth quarter of 2007 exclusively for the Nintendo DS
