West Point's
Department of Military Instruction Warfighting Center orders 1040 copies.
Cary, NC, November 22, 2000-- Shrapnel Games,
internet based Publisher of computer war and strategy games, announced today that the
United States Military Academy at West Point has issued a purchase order for 1040 copies
of Steel Beasts, their modern day tank simulation to be delivered in mid-December of this
year.
Tim Brooks, President of Shrapnel Games, said, "We are
very excited about this purchase order. It means that the Department of Military
Instruction Warfighting Center has seen the practical uses that such a true-to-life tank
simulation can bring to the educational process of the U.S. Military's future leaders.
We have had several conversations with West Point representatives and look forward
to hearing how the simulation works for them in the classroom."
Steel Beasts is a tank simulation set in modern times that
allows you to take it to the former Warsaw Pact forces in either the M1A1 or the Leopard
2A4. Included with this are modeling for artillery, smoke, mine fields, and much
more. To round out the package you can play the game versus others with full
multiplayer support and design your own maps and missions with the included editors.
