Type: Press Release

Plenty of improvements and fixes have rolled off the production line and are ready for action

Matrix Games and VR Designs (www.vrdesigns.nl) are pleased to announce the release of the comprehensive 2.05 update for their new strategy game release, Advanced Tactics: Gold. The new update includes new cavalry units, another level of AI opponents, more variety in random map choices, and overlays for scenario design.  In addition, the update also adjusts some production and fuel costs, and fixes a number of bugs.

To mark the release of the game there are a pack of new screenshots now out that show off some of the exciting new features in the update! Also, did you know Advanced Tactics: Gold College was in session? Check out the strategy tips and hints VR Designs has been posting over at their website and sharpen your Advanced Tactics game!

David Heath, Director of Operations at Matrix Games, said “The Advanced Tactics: Gold community is the lifeblood of the game and it is strong and vibrant! We’re proud to support our products so gamers can continue to enjoy them long after release and this update is a further step in that direction.”

Building off of the enormous success of Advanced Tactics: World War II, the Gold edition gives players a more powerful game editor, much improved random game engine, many new features and abilities, and more. Advanced Tactics: Gold also comes with an updated manual and ever-changing and expanding wiki, a freshly revamped scenario bank, new graphics throughout the game, more troop types, as well as some new scenarios. VR Designs has also been hard at working listening to player feedback, so Advanced Tactics: Gold also comes with many incremental changes and improvements based on community feedback!

But perhaps the most exciting feature in Advanced Tactics: Gold is the near limitless potential for replayability. The strong mod community will be able to create engaging, rich scenarios with the vastly improved editor, and players looking to hop straight into the action can enjoy a much improved random game experience that comes with many new rules, actions, and gameplay mechanics.

Strategic Command Blog Post #2: 'Artificial Intelligence'

Thursday, August 11, 2016

In 2002, the original Strategic Command game was a relatively simple construct. With a limited rule set and a much smaller 62x37 map of approximately 2300 hexes, the requirements for the AI were not necessarily trivial, but in general terms, they were straightforward.

Fast forward to today, and Strategic Command WWII: War in Europe has been expanded into a modifiable hexagonal game engine allowing map sizes of up to 512x512 or 262,144 hexes!

Strategic Command Beta AAR: First Moves

Thursday, July 28, 2016

Welcome to the first Beta-AAR of Strategic Command WWII: War in Europe.  This is a mini AAR, and as such, the AAR will only cover the inital shots in Gleiwitz Poland in September of 1939, to the fall of France in mid 1940.   Since the game is still in Beta, there might be some changes of the material covered between now and the final release, but the game already feels complete and the development team assures me that they don’t expect much to change other than minor items to ensure any final polish and balance to the main campaign.

Players familiar with the Strategic Command series will immediately notice the much bigger map. In the north, the passage around Norway to Archangelsk is ready for sub warfare, and in the south, a large part of Africa has been modeled as well.
