of the game! The September reports below will let you in on just what we’ve been
spending our time developing." Thanks 88fingers.

Matrix Games announces
Gary Grigsby's War in the West 1943-45 will be
released in December of this year, offering this turn-based strategy game that
follows up on the previous release of War in the East. The game's
product page has images and details, and here we have a summary:
July
1943 – The German war machine is jammed. On the Eastern Front the Soviets are
progressing relentlessly, and Rommel had to retreat and finally leave North
Africa. But to make the Axis capitulate, the Allied forces have to turn up the
heat on the Western Front. Even if the German army has been weakened after 4
years of ruthless combat, its soldiers are battle-hardened veterans and its
commanders are building almost impenetrable defensive lines in Italy. The time
for launching massive seaborne and airborne operations has come; the Western
Front is re-opened!
Gary Grigsby’s War in the West 1943-45 is the most ambitious and detailed
computer wargame on the Western Front of World War II ever made. Starting with
the Summer 1943 invasions of Sicily and Italy and proceeding through the
invasions of France and the drive into Germany, War in the West brings the
players all the Allied campaigns in Western Europe and the capability to
re-fight the Western Front according to their plan.
The game features 3 main campaigns and 7 smaller scenarios for a comprehensive
coverage of the combats in Western Europe between July 1943 and mid
1945:
