Alexander the Great Decrees the Release of a Demo
A Demo for Tin Soldiers: Alexander the Great will be available November 24th 2005

Matrix Games is pleased to announce that a demo version of Tin Soldiers: Alexander The Great by Koios Works (www.koiosworks.com) is completed and available on November 24th, 2004 for downloading.

David Heath, Director of Operations for Matrix Games, said “Tin Soldiers: Alexander the Great sets out to accurately portray the triumphs and trials of Alexander’s conquest of the known world in true strategic table top fashion. The new demo allows players to discover if they have what it takes to be the greatest general of all time and is available at our website for free.”

Tin Soldiers: Alexander the Great uses an innovative multi-phase turn-based system. As you play, the campaign unfolds before you with cinematic cut-scenes and three dimensional panoramas of the battlefields. Each battle is based on the historical terrain and troop placements, but the campaign allows you to make decisions in between battles on which units to reinforce, whether to recruit new units or replace commanders and how many of your resources to focus on training.

Tin Soldiers: Alexander the Great includes support for multiplayer over the internet and local network. Any of the campaign battles can be selected or players can choose one of the two special multi-player only scenarios: Bactria and Elysium.

Good idea on the demo. Wasn't sure whether I would like the game or not. Downloaded the demo, played it, then purchased the game.

I am really enjoying the game. I find myself thinking almost like you do when you play chess, which is really different from how you have to think with other computer wargames (at least for me).

Are miniatures really made of tin now? Last time I played a game using miniatures, they were made of lead. Guess I'm showing my age...

The good miniatures are made of Lead. Some decorative ones are made of Pewter. A lot a cheap ones are simply plastic. We went with Tin for style purposes. "lead solders" just sounded bad... but it does have a nice 'double meaning'!

Hehe... more your youth, I think. [;)] "Tin Soldiers" is much more suggestive of what children (of all ages) would have played with in the early 19th century rather than modern gaming miniatures. Whether they were actually made of tin then or not, I don't know.
