Matrix Games and Strategic Studies Group announced today a partnership to release Battlefront, an all-new wargame system that simulates battalion-scale combat in a World War II setting.

"We are truly pleased to work with a talented and established developer like SSG in bringing this product to the market." said David Heath, Operations Manager of Matrix Games. "Our philosophies share much the same beliefs, in that wargames are meant to be fun, approachable, and challenging."

While the Battlefront system shares a design philosophy with SSG's award-winning Decisive Battles series, it is actually an entirely new system specifically designed for battalion-level combat. This level of play gives the player a chance to experience true issues of command, control, sighting, and supply at a level that emphasizes plenty of tough but enjoyable decisions to make. The combat system provides new and varied ways to damage your opponent, with provisions for direct and indirect fire, air strikes, and special, historically-accurate combat modes (such as Japanese Banzai attacks).
