History Channel Battle of Britain WWII 1940

History Channel Battle of Britain WWII 1940 was a difficult shoot-em-up game at the time of release. It featured two campaigns and all the artillery fire and reloaded tank shells you'd expect from a WWII sim. The game spawned two sequels that continued the series, a pair of new games called The Official History Channel: History Channel Battle of Britain 1940 and The Official History Channel: History Channel Warfront 1940. Both games were great, but were criticized for their poor gameplay and great graphics, especially compared to historical content. That wasn't the case for the upcoming sequel, and it is safe to say that the War of Britain 1940s was not going to be as successful as some of the historical video games that were launched in the US, Europe, and Asia.

Baumgartner, Germany: October 30, 1944

This isn't the first time the war has raged on as its goal of US independence has been to "graduate" and study video games, the first of which will soon be released in Germany. Previously, it was thought that Germany had been influenced by the British's approach to the German army. This strategy gameshow will feature three new war scenarios--Road to Glory, Operation Market Garden, and Call of Duty's Finest Hour.

Baumgartner: November 16, 1944

This game is an entirely new installment in the War of Britain series, but it is not yet known how the developers will implement it. We are currently at a place with production of 10 Warzone scenarios, and will have more details to share soon.

Baumgartner: November 16, 1944

The German invasion of Normandy had been thwarted, but this year's game will be even more epic. The Germans managed to crack into the coastal city of Skálys and crack the German weapons system. We are working closely with the creator of this war to develop the Germans' unique, innovative tactics, which will serve as the backbone of the game.

The Allies can reach the German base of operation to invade, but will there be other forces there?

Baumgartner: Russia is always at war with the Allies, but there are so many more forces on the ground that will be ready for battle, and there is always one more tank on the ground that will be on the ground that can be easily destroyed. The Axis might have a special ability called Sticky Bombs, which will make it impossible for a single tank to hit, and they can also use grenades, as well as Panzer IV launchers, to make the fight much more interesting.

That being said, the Russian defense system will be present and correct for any particular type of infantry and vehicles you have on the ground. In fact, the Allies will have to make a decision on which path to take: At first, it is all about protecting the offensive with infantry, but after this decision, it is the German Resistance who will have to deal with the Axis defenses.

GS: Since the Soviets are mostly based in Germany, how will they be different from other real-world countries? How will they differ in appearance and controls?

CW: As I said before, the Soviets will only have access to a small number of weapons, and they will have to rely on large numbers of air-to-air missile launchers and grenades to get the job done. Infantry are pretty powerful, but they will have to be trained up to control the attack helicopter so that it can take off at any range. This is one of the reasons why most of the missions in Frontlines will be so far removed from your main objective. They are intended to be longer, because if a particular unit is knocked off, the mission is over. However, if a special unit is required, it's usually in the same place, so you'll usually be forced to attempt to get the job done on a different one.

GS: Tell us about the other faction's units. What kinds of units will they possess? And how will they make the difference between winning and losing in this area?

CW: The Soviet armies are as highly trained as the rest of the nation. The Germans are trained to advance in strength, but they can be knocked off their feet before they can reach the enemy. The Soviets have a fairly sizable army pool, but their units are slightly weaker in comparison to the rest of the enemy's forces. You can use them to your advantage in most situations.

The other two Soviet armies are the Russian. This gives you the ability to bring some major resources to the front lines, such as air units, airstrikes, and even all-out antiair support. The Russian Army also has the ability to deploy nuclear missiles, which are big, tough anti-infantry weapons that can dish out substantial amounts of damage.

However, the Soviets also have some powerful artillery units, such as the Ho Chi Minolta artillery. This artillery unit is your bread and butter against multiple opponents in battle, since it has a powerful, slow-moving shield and can knock out multiple enemies with a single shot.
