Matrix Games now offers a playable demo for Hornet Leader, offering a "short but sweet" sample of the recently released air combat game. Word from David Heath of Matrix Games is: "This demo will give any pilots still debating whether or not to take to the skies the extra encouragement to kick the tires and light the fires. The skirmish scenario included in the demo is among my favorite engagements. Prospective pilots won’t be disappointed!" On a related note, this page is serving up a new version 1.1 patch for the game, word is: "The first update for this popular turn-based tactical air combat simulator will bring a few display improvements in addition to a difficulty tweak or two. There is also a new feature which adds the ability to view loadouts/stats for individual pilots on the Initial Placement Screen."
