• Six epic, extensive scenarios, including Operation Barbarossa and D-Day

• 50 inventions from five different tech trees

• Recruitment of historical commanders for the player's own units

Enhanced PC Features

• Addition of six quick play scenarios for multiplayer. Those cover the same time periods

as the original maps but can be played quicker

• Frame rate has been increased

• Updates to the moddable script file system to be more friendly to windows Vista and XP

• Improved AI reacts quickly to players decisions
MILITARY HISTORY™ Commander Europe at War for Nintendo DS™, PSP™(PlayStation®Portable) and PC will be released in the first quarter of this year.

Hey, I've done it, and I'm American, so you shouldn't find have any trouble at all, (unless, of course, you're a Newfie)

We ship worldwide so no problems there. The only issue is that on some consoles (PS2, X360, PS3) the consoles are region specific TV's to deal with and prevent software from other regions playing e.g. NTSC vs PAL. This doesn't effects PC, PSP and DS though as they have no region set in them and have no issue of TV format.

This is good. Amazon UK will not ship it to North America. And, I want the DS version. Are you guys taking pre-orders? The store is fire walled here at school.

And, how is it that this game is being released before the Rome DS game, which was in production first? Is Black Bean mucking everything up?

They'll be shipping about the same time - assuming we can the stock from Japan in time

March

yeah I missed that detail.

Oh well my B day is in March so I at least don't need a 'reason' to get it hehe.

I recently saw Heavy Armour Brigade on sale on Amazon, nice price. Pity I can't apparently get it from Amazon UK. I like Amazon over all.

But I will gladly buy it right out of the Slitherine store to be honest. Be nice to be able to order the Rome title at the same time.
