Battlefront.com and 1C Company are thrilled to announce that the CENTAURO add-on to the epic World War Two tactical wargame Theatre of War 2 : Africa 1943 has just gone gold!

Theatre of War 2 - Centauro is going to go on sale this week, and will be available for $25 plus S&H, for immediate download as well as mail delivery, and only directly from www.battlefront.com. An attractive bundle of the base game and the add-on is going to be available as well, at the reduced price of just $50.

Theatre of War 2 - Centauro is not a standalone game, it requires ownership of the original english language Battlefront.com version of Theatre of War 2.

Theatre of War 2 – Centauro is an expansion to the WW2 tactical ground combat simulation Theatre of War 2: Africa 1943 and is dedicated to the Italian 131st Armored Division „Centauro“ and the battles it took part in North Africa, starting from December 1942 until mid-May 1943. Some of the exciting new features include new desert and mountain landscapes of North Africa on ten brand new maps accurately reconstructed according to historical documents, ten new military vehicles such as the Semovente M40 tank destroyer, the Carro Armato M13/40 medium tank or the Autoblinda AB 40 armored car, and much more.

We have just opened a dedicated Developer Diary blog for the upcoming “PT Boats: Knights of the Sea” naval simulation! 

Many questions are reaching us from fans anticipating the title’s release, and the best way to respond to them all in detail is by a dedicated series of articles, touching upon many different aspects of the game, from various simulation effects and calculations such as ballistics, water and object physics, damage modeling and others, to the background and history of PT Boats.

The first entry in the Diary talks about Weapon ballistics, how they are handled in the game to achieve the best balance between realism and gameplay, and how the different types of weapons are treated in unique ways.

Air to surface combat plays an important role in any even halfway serious naval combat simulation, just as attacks from above are one of the biggest threats for any marine vessel in real life, even today. No surprise that PT Boats features a rich and detailed simulation of air-to-surface combat in the game. This week's video release highlights the aerial action that takes place above the sea – watch as planes break apart on a critical hit, pilots bail out, or a Stuka dive bomber executes a perfect bombing run.
