THE GAME
--------
Single Player Missions
The main mode is Campaign, in which you will play the role of
General Patton, controlling the Third US Army through 4
operations. There are a total of 21 missions of different types
to complete from western France to Germany. You will also be able
to play individual missions once they have been in
Campaign mode. When you begin the campaign, you will be able to
follow a tutorial to learn about the basics of the game for
managing your armies and completing missions.
Patton’s Evolution
Patton will evolve as he successfully advances in the campaign.
There are two different elements to manage strategically:
Patton’s prestige and skill points, both of which affect his
Third Army.
Prestige points are, in effect, the currency for exchange in the
game. They can be used to recruit new units, heal wounded
soldiers, repair damaged vehicles, or to upgrade units. Patton’s
skill points affect certain characteristics of the Third Army’s
units. Therefore, the player can improve desired aspects of their
units in a number of different ways. As missions are successfully
completed, Patton’s prestige and skill points will increase in
accordance with the type of victory achieved: minor, normal,
major or heroic.
Unit Evolution
The most important element of a unit’s evolution is its
experience. The most veteran units will be the most valuable
during missions. Experience will improve the offensive power and
the precision of their weapons. Units gain experience by
eliminating enemies, performing actions, completing objectives,
and even receiving damage and surviving. The improvement in their
characteristics will be proportional to their experience. For
every 100 experience points gained the unit will receive a rank
star, to a maximum of 5. Four rank stars are represented by a
silver star and five stars by a gold star. Upon completing a
mission, the unit that gains the most experience, within a
minimum, will receive a medal. Units that receive three medals
will become heroes, meaning that all of their characteristics
will improve considerably. Heroes with five rank stars are the
most valuable units in the army. The experience of units is very
valuable, so it is important to prevent such units from being
destroyed by the enemy. When a unit becomes obsolete, like a
light tank, for example, it can be upgraded to a more powerful
model.
Multiplayer Missions
You can play a battle with another player, between American and
German forces, taking turns using a single console. In
multiplayer mode you will compete with another player (or against
yourself) in a battle, taking turns using one console. Each
player will choose a faction, American or German, along with the
units to be used in the battle. During their turn each player
will make the move(s) they wish and will then pass the console to
the other player. The is to destroy all the nent’s units.
