GI Combat update

Maryland-based Freedom Games today announced that it will develop and publish the tactical combat game GI Combat, a game that was first announced by TalonSoft in February. The game 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, or to sign up for the game's beta test, visit the official GI Combat Web site.
