An Advanced Tactics: World War II Update Is Now Available!

[Alex Fiedler]

Plenty of fixes and improvements are ready to ship out to the battlefield.

Matrix Games and VR Designs (www.advancedtactics.org) are proud to announce the release of another update for Advanced Tactics: World War II. The comprehensive 1.15 update includes a large number of bug fixes, an improved modeling system for rocket units, some user interface improvements like the ability to customize terrain display colors on the minimap, and much more!

David Heath, Director of Operations at Matrix Games, said “Since Advanced Tactics has been storming the gaming scene it has been earning accolades and winning awards from gamers and critics alike. Apart from winning the Game Squad Editor’s Choice Award, the Best of 2007 Silver Award from CyberStratege, and the Wargame of the Year for 2007 Silver from the Wargamer, Advanced Tactics remains a personal favorite of mine and for countless other gamers!”

Advanced Tactics is a versatile turn-based strategy system that gives gamers the chance to wage almost any battle in any time period. The first module in this series is Advanced Tactics: World War II, which allows gamers to command a mighty army and storm across Europe. Complete with a streamlined interface and an addicting style of gameplay, Advanced Tactics offers a unique and infinitely replayable experience for any strategy fan.

Depending on the scenario, you can decide what your towns should produce, which HQs receive reinforcements, how your chain of command is formed, what sort of troop and equipment mix you put in each unit, if you use air, land, or sea strategies or maybe even call in the paratroopers – the possibilities are endless! Almost any type of strategy or tactic can be used effectively in Advanced Tactics. Perhaps the most powerful feature in Advanced Tactics is the ability to generate random maps and scenarios, giving the player endless hours of strategic fun without having to repeat a single battle or campaign!

Get more information on Advanced Tactics: World War II from its product page. This update is comprehensive and will bring the version of the game up to 1.15.

Re: an improved modeling system for rocket units

Is this a new feature, i.e. rocket artillery(nebelwaffers/katyushas)? V1/V2? or something else?

Vic,
I'm having major problems trying to download the 1.15 update for Advanced Tactics from the Matrix website.
So I came here to the forums, hoping for a better link.  Unfortunately, the one posted here in this thread gives me a 404 webpage not found error.
Is Matrix aware of these problems?  Can I get the file anywhere else?
Please advise.  Thanks!

matrix seems to be updating their website and changing a lot of stuff. they should be catching these bugs. give them some more time i advise. you might want to post this too in the general matrix support forum
