The computer games series "Combat Mission" has received much acclaim from the gaming community for its simulations of tactical battles. Its fans span the globe and "Combat Mission: Shock Force" is described as the pinnacle of the series where the developers have poured years of experience into the game and its entirely new engine.

This tactical military simulation depicts a hypothetical near future conflict between NATO and Syrian forces in Syria.A highly story driven semi-dynamic Campaign, from the US perspective, offers a completely new experience for "Combat Mission" fans. Each battle include a detailed Mission Briefing outlining specific Objectives, which can range from taking a particular spot on the map to retaining force cohesion. The Objectives for each side can be different, allowing each side to fight according to its own goals rather than a single set common to both.

"Combat Mission: Shock Force is Battlefront's biggest release to date and they have set high standards for the release", said Fredrik Wester, Executive Vice President for Paradox Interactive. "The team wanted to implement a few additional features to the game to create an even greater experience for the player and we are very excited about the direction the product is taking".

Combat Mission: Shock Force is scheduled to ship to stores July 27, 2007. The game will retail for $39.99/€39.99.
