Going West

Gratuitous Tank Battles

Gratuitous Tank Battles goes World War II. Positech Games has just released The Western Front, a new expansion to this very well received tower defense/RTS/simulation hybrid which is fittingly packed to the brim with warring implements.

Namely, and as Mr. Cliff Harris himself explicitates:

 

(...) a whole bunch of classic WW2 tanks such as the Tiger and the Sherman. There are also eight new maps to battle over, in a completely new singleplayer campaign (...). The new maps also come with new textures and props for use in your own custom scenarios.

 

Something new and different about these maps is that the first four are locked to the 1914-1945 technology era, meaning no lasers, no shields, no mechs. You can play them as completely straight WW2 style battles. As before, obviously you get to take the role of attacker or defender, and we have included both American and German AI attacking armies for you to play against, if you prefer the predictability of scripted attackers.

 

Enjoy!

 

Those wanting to move to this new front can do so immediately by getting it direct here or await for the big guns like Steam and GamersGate to get it to your column later on today.
