Theater of War 3: Korea announced

In an recent development, Battlefront.com and Russian Publisher 1C Company have announced their third installment in the Theatre of War series of tactical real-time strategy games: Theatre of War 3 Korea. Picking up right after the end of World War 2, Theater of War 3: Korea replays the events of the first hot war of the Cold War era – the Korean War, also known as the Forgotten War.

The players are involved in two campaigns, both set in 1950: the North Korean campaign spans June 25 – August 20 and the American campaign from September 15 – October 8.

Adding a whole new dimension of tactical warfare, Theatre of War 3: Korea includes aerial combat in the form of Helicopters and a new tactical simulation engine, bringing your combat experience to a whole new level. The operational game mode allows you to freely move your forces over the entire Korean Peninsula, managing reserves, as well as fuel and ammo supply.

Tentatively announced for Q1-2011, the game will be available directly from www.battlefront.com, as both digital download and in physical form via snail mail.
