En bref. Matrix Games annonce avoir établi un partenariat avec le studio Yobowargames, à qui l’on doit entre autres deux petits jeux sur le thème des batailles du front de l’est Kursk – Battle at Prochorovka et Battle for Korsun. Ce dernier venant d’ailleurs de bénéficier d’un patch améliroant divers aspects de la jouabilité (voir changelog ci-après).
Voilà qui pourrait permettre à ce studio de mieux poursuivre ses projets et, qui sait, de peut-être proposer des titres plus aboutis à l’avenir. Tels ceux en chantier déjà mentionnés sur le blog officiel de Yobo, comme Krim : von Manstein’s Battles for Sevastopol, 1941-42 ; Valor & Victory, un jeu de combats d’escouade sur le thème de 39-45 ; Fall of France 1940 ; Battle for Iwo Jima ; ou encore Battle for Picketts Mill.

We are excited to announce a partnership with Yobowargames, with the aim to bring traditional hex and counter war/historical themed board games to the digital world.
Battle for Korsun and Kursk – Battle at Prochorovka are now part of our catalog!
Battle for Korsun is a simulation of the battles occurred in January and February 1944 and fought on the Eastern Front. Players control the various German and Soviet forces which took part in these struggles. The Soviet player must coordinate the offensives of his Fronts to encircle the Germans quickly before the Germans powerful reinforcements arrive. The German player must form a pocket perimeter, then orchestrate his relief drive with his Panzer divisions to rescue their trapped comrades.
Battle at Prochorovka covers one of largest single tank battle in the history of warfare. Approximately 1000 tanks and assault guns met head to head near the town of Prochorovka, in a battle that became a desperate close range shoot-out which would decide the ultimate success or failure of Operation Zitadelle.
