World of Tanks Generals is poised to rule the battlefield. It almost managed to evade us with its hull down approach, but our artillery spotters finally zeroed in on Wargaming.net's upcoming free to play, browser based collectible card game.
Here's what CEO Mr.Victor Kislyi has to say about it:
World Of Tanks Generals will merge the worlds of tabletop and video games, featuring solid mechanics, strategic thinking and tactical twists in a fun, approachable way. It will feature the same great multiplayer tank warfare that Wargaming fans have come to love, just from an entirely new perspective
Some details from the official brochure site:
Across several single and multiplayer gameplay modes, commanders can take part in battles taken from historical events, fight for dominance on a global map and destroy the competition in matches where carefully planned tactics and strategies become the key to victory.
World of Tanks Generals features over 220 unique cards, each with their own unique strengths and weaknesses. Units include tanks, artillery and infantry, as well as special bonus cards that can grant the player additional firepower or defenses, adding a new dimension of strategy to gameplay.
Scenarios will be based upon renowned World War II battles, with each player trying to destroy the opponent's HQ. In terms of sides, the French and German armies as well as the US and USSR forces are those that will be in play from day one.
The game's current status is not precisely known, though likely nearing beta. To get a better sense of what gameplay actually entails check out this brief early preview at PC Gamer.
