Type: Press Release

Some rule tweaks and PBEM improvements to go along with a temporary price reduction

Matrix Game and Wastelands Interactive (www.wastelands-interactive.com) are proud to release an update and announce a special sale for their Pacific-theater grand strategy game, Storm over the Pacific. For a limited time only, Storm over the Pacific will be on sale for $29.99 for the digital download version and $39.99 for the boxed version – a discount of $20 off the regular price!

As for the update, the comprehensive 1.05 patch comes with a number of bug fixes and improvements including an improved PBEM system that allows players to automate decisions in events, added penalties for skipping too many islands in Pacific Campaign, the Carrier Air Strike range on land and air units is now presented and working correctly, and more.

David Heath, Director of Operations at Matrix Games, said “Storm over the Pacific has received plenty of improvements since its release and this update continues that great support. Add on the new sale to make it easier to jump on board and this is agreat time to take a look at Storm over the Pacific!”

The creators of WW2: Time of Wrath move to the Pacific theater with Storm over the Pacific. Depicting the epic conflict between Japan and the United States, players choose from 26 available countries with historically accurate orders of battle including land, sea and air units and leaders. Concentrate on directing one country or command several to lead an alliance of nations. Engage in battle over the vast expanse of the Pacific with 16 unit types modeled with an intuitive supply system and governed by realistic and historically accurate weather patterns.!

Behind the front lines, players can also manage alliances, monitor economic conditions, and research new technologies. With shrewd management of research resources, players may even embark on a dramatic race to develop Atomic weapons and turn the tide of the war! Even the best laid plans may still falter, though, as hundreds of historical events may occur throughout a campaign, adding the element of surprise and unpredictability that is so commonly found in war.

Storm over the Pacific also sports a configurable user interface that allows you to freely arrange the information and orders panes on the screen. With this sort of freedom, commanding armies and managing nations is easier than ever! Create your own intuitive interface suited to your play style so you can concentrate on plotting to defeat your enemies!

Get the update here. The update is comprehensive and will bring all previous versions ofStorm over the Pacific to version 1.05. Get more information on Storm over the Pacific from its official product page.
