We have signed with the developers who did the the free ware title, and our aim is to helping them to make the title bigger and more detailed :-)

Status: offline 		If you compare the (obsolete) videos on the Facebook page to the 4-year old freeware alpha build, it's easy to notice the difference. Development has been going on all these years, and still keeps going. The freeware version covered, basically, a period of one year. The commercial release will cover 27 years, even if it has different nations. It will be much more than just a skirmish generator.

I remember there being loads of mods like a WW1 version etc..are they still around?

The freeware and commercial versions are part of the same continuum, but I consider the freeware versions 'alpha'. I heard a rumor that you already got the freeware edition

That would be more like participating in expenses, since so far I've only lost money by working on this project.

Oh, I played the original freeware version years ago.

15x15 is Huge ? check out BCT/ATF and you will see huge maps with lowest level unit is a single team/vehicle

Based on the description I assume that you are trying to compete with battlefront titles ?

15x15 km is the maximum scenario map size. The scenario and campaign battle locations are picked from much larger master maps. I try to avoid mentioning the actual sizes, because they may be subject to change. It's always a question of detail vs size. In AB you can have a 15x15 km battle with hundreds of units and are able to zoom in to see the individual men, casualties, tank commanders etc there.

Personally, when it comes to the actual game, I'm not trying to "compete" with anybody. I just wanted to make a game I like to play. The ATF series was a major influence to me by the way, and the old Combat Mission games too. Now with Matrix we're maximizing the game's potential, with special emphasis on the graphics and UI, as I see it.

it is great that this is going to be scaled up to a full commercial title. To repeat what others said, huge potential.

Looking forward to it.

All the best,

Actually Shrapnel Games. And I don't see how it can be a competition since as far as I can see, the last release in the BCT/ATF/AATF/BGC series was in 2009. I enjoyed that series, and I am looking forward to Armored Brigade.

I wonder what's the definition of 'matrixization'?

I can assure you that it's not going to happen with this game. The difference to the freeware game is that the commercial game looks better, plays better, sounds better, there's more content, features, customizability, everything.

I'm curious which game or games this happened to. Can you tell us?
