Bombs and Baseball -- more American than apple pie! And Boku Strategy Games is serving up heapin' helpings of Americana with the imminent release of All American: The 82nd Airborne in Normandy, sequel to the tactical strategy title 101st: The Airborne Invasion of Normandy. Forty-eight uniquely characterized troops. Thirty-five researched and modeled weapon types. A combat system based on real-world wound studies of the Second World War. Casual gamers need not apply.
Boku Games is also bringing America's favorite pastime to your tabletop. BaseBrawl!!! may sound like a Matt and Trey Parker sequel to Baseketball, but it's actually a boardgame version of the ol' ballgame playable on your dining room table. If you've ever been interested in beta testing a boardgame, Shrapnel Games is currently screening applicants.
Boku Strategy Games Goes All American!
Baseball, Airborne Night Drops, and Apple Pie Together At Last!
Hampstead, NC, 13 October 2006
The North Koreans may be testing nukes and Shrapnel Games has new
information about
All American: The 82nd Airborne in Normandy. Yeah, someplace a 15th century
seer is
turning over in his grave.
Shrapnel Games is proud to announce that Boku Strategy Games (The War
Engine, the
Combat Command 2 series, the Horse and Musket 1 and 2 series and the oldest
Shrapnel
Games developer) is now tweaking the All American code and pushing forward
on this
highly anticipated (and yes, highly delayed!) title. While no release date
has been set
with Boku focusing on All American developments should now be happening
sooner
than later.
All American: The 82nd Airborne in Normandy is the sequel to the blockbuster
tactical
strategy title, 101st: The Airborne Invasion of Normandy. Featuring
skirmish level play,
with players guiding individual soldiers, All American boasts forty-eight
uniquely
characterized troops to command in a variety of scenarios. Based on real
world maps of
the Normandy countryside, All American features a high level of authenticity
with thirty-
five weapon types researched and modeled, and a combat result system based
on real
world wound studies of the Second World War. A dynamic play structure makes
every
mission unique, and the ability to play multiplayer adds to that. All
American: The 82nd
Airborne in Normandy will be available for Windows.
But that's not all that Boku Strategy Games has cooking! Boku Strategy
Games will be
entering the boardgame side of the business with their first title,
"BaseBrawl!!!"
BaseBrawl!!! is the All American game everyone knows and loves, but with the
added
possibility of a tad bit of the ol' ultra-violence. If you're familiar with
baseball then
you'll have no trouble cranking up a game of BaseBrawl!!!, which plays like
the real
thing except you only need a kitchen table to host your own World Series.
Three
different layers of rules (Little League, Minor League, and Major League)
help gamers of
all ages and abilities quickly learn the game system.
"It's been a good year for Boku", says owner Michael Cooney, "Not only have
we found
resources to continue our most revered software series, we're bringing to
baseball fans
everywhere the most realistic and fun-to-play tabletop baseball game ever
seen. We took
a whole new approach to sports boardgaming by concentrating on the mechanics
of the
game instead of simply rolling out a whole play. And you get the added
bonus of taking
out fielders while running the bases if you want. Who can pass that up?"
Shrapnel Games is currently seeking beta testers for this exciting and
revolutionary sports
boardgame. If you're interested please drop beta test coordinator Mindi
Arnesen an
email at
mindi@shrapnelgames.com letting her know your interest, any
experience you
have with beta testing, and any other relevant information. Those chosen
will be notified
at a later date.
