Software publisher Strategy First Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Silverstar Holdings, Ltd. (Nasdaq: SSTR), is pleased to announce the signing of the turn based strategy game titled “Birth of America”. Initially published by the French company AGEOD, Birth of America is an original creation of Philippe Thibaut and developer SEP BOA.

"We are very confident that our partner Strategy First will do a great promotion and distribution job for Birth of America, as we can tell from their previous achievements in historical strategy games" says Philippe Thibaut, Birth of America designer and CEO of AGEOD (and designer of the renowned game, Europa Universalis!)

Pro Sotos, Manager of Business Development for Strategy First Inc. said, "We are extremely happy to be publishing Birth of America. The development team has been responsible for some of the most addictive and challenging strategy games and we believe that Birth of America will surpass the level of quality and gameplay of the previous titles."


The year 2005 marks the 250th anniversary of the start of the French & Indian Wars. Twenty years later, the America Revolutionary War erupted. These two events marked the real start of a new era in the Americas and the end of British Colonial rule.

In Birth of America, the player controls one of the major contenders of these 2 conflicts, trying to achieve military and political victory. It is a complete and detailed simulation of the two most important wars in Colonial America - from 1755 to 1783. The game covers all of North America, from Florida to Quebec and New England to Mississippi.

Control the military action of your nation. This includes such activities as drafting forces, building forts and depots, sieges and blockades, raiding enemy settlements and battles, both on land and at sea.
Naval units come in the form of warship squadrons and flotillas. You can also manage supply wagons, water transport, forts and depots. Wide diversity of troop types are implemented, including: light infantry; dragoons; siege artillery; rangers; Indian warriors; marines; militias; ships of the line; frigates and lake flotillas. There are more than ninety different models of units in all.
