Reconnaisance reports: Armoured units sighted!
New "Codename Panzers: Cold War" screenshots released
Darmstadt, November 12th 2007 - Developer Stormregion and publisher 10TACLE STUDIOS today released new screenshots from upcoming PC release "Codename Panzers: Cold War" on www.panzers-coldwar.com. The new screenshots give a good impression of the performance delivered by the completely reworked Gepard3 graphic engine. The detailed graphics and visual effects create an authentic combat scenario destined to captivate real-time strategy fans starting in March of 2008. European distribution of the newest addition to the "Codename Panzers" series is being handled by Electronic Arts.
During the Cold War conflict, a period in which the differences of opinion between the occupying forces of the Allies and the Soviet Union become ever sharper, an aircraft accident occurs over Tempelhof Airport during the Berlin Blockade resulting in grave consequences. The tragic collision of an American airplane carrying relief goods with a Russian fighter plane costs not only the lives of both crews, but also overstretches the already tense relations between the occupying forces. Under the command of the merciless Stalin, the Red Army has undergone a tremendous expansion at the end of the Second World War and has more-or-less been waiting for the right time to extend their territory to the West by attacking the NATO forces. This incident thus gives Stalin all the incentive that he requires!
