UbiBlog announces open beta testing is underway for EndWar Online, their browser-based MMO strategy game. Here's word on the new Wargame Mode this adds:

This update brings exciting new PvP gameplay to EndWar Online. Wargame mode is a live PvP mode that challenges players to build a deck of special commanders and endure as many battles as possible without being defeated. The system will pick three special commanders (at maximum skill and equipment level), and players will choose one. This process continues until six commanders have been chosen. These commanders aren’t limited to the player’s commander list. Players then battle against each other until they have either won nine victories or suffered three losses. At this point they will be rewarded based on how many victories they scored. Great rewards can be gained from consecutive victories!
