Uncommon Valor: Campaign for the South Pacific Ready for Release
Operational Wargame From Matrix Games and 2 by 3’s Legendary Design Team Goes Gold
STATEN ISLAND, NY – April 24th, 2002 – Matrix Games (http://www.matrixgames.com) is proud to announce that Uncommon Valor: Campaign for the South Pacific has completed testing and gone gold. Co-developed with the legendary Gary Grigsby, Keith Brors and Joel Billings of 2 by 3 Games (http://www.2by3games.com), Uncommon Valor is a completely new operational game covering the campaign in the area around Australia, New Guinea and Guadalcanal during World War II.
David Heath, Director of Operations at Matrix Games said, “Uncommon Valor is the ultimate operational campaign of the South Pacific. Everyone at Matrix Games is extremely excited about the quality and playability of this title. We’re looking forward to shipping this one out to wargamers across the world.”
Uncommon Valor models the full scope of land, air and sea battles in the South Pacific from mid 1942 through the end of 1943. The beautifully rendered game map stretches from Truk in the north to Brisbane in the south. Ships, squadrons and regiments are detailed down to each gun, each pilot and each squad, respectively. While Uncommon Valor showcases a new level of historical accuracy, the interface is designed to minimize micro-management for casual gamers while allowing grognards to delve into the details.
Joel Billings of 2 by 3 Games added, “This May, wargamers will be transported back sixty years to the decision point of the war in the Pacific. History is yours to relive and rewrite.”
Uncommon Valor includes eighteen scenarios and campaigns, which can be played against the computer opponent, hot-seat against another human, or by a secure play by e-mail system. A scenario and unit editor is included to allow players to edit and create their own historical scenarios.
Uncommon Valor Features:
• Historical wargaming from the legendary team of Grigsby, Brors and Billings
• Campaigns and scenarios in the South Pacific from May, 1942 through December, 1943
• Intelligent AI for solo play and Secure PBEM mode for battles against human opponents
• Detail and accuracy without micro-management
• Editor included for scenarios and units
