New screens: GI Combat

Maryland-based Freedom Games has released a new group of screenshots from its upcoming tactical combat game, GI Combat. The new screenshots show off some of the character and unit models that will appear in the game.

GI Combat is set during World War II, and it features a variety of historical and hypothetical missions beginning at D-Day and continuing through Patton's breakout from the Normandy beachhead. Players will assume control of either American or German troops and lead them through a series of tactical encounters. The game features a 3D environment with detailed terrain and realistic armor penetration, vehicle movement, and weapons fire. In addition, a multiplayer mode will support a number of players over a LAN or Internet connection.

GI Combat is scheduled for release next spring. For more information, take a look at our previous coverage of the game.
