Arlington, VT, March 21, 2013 – Matrix Games ( www.matrixgames.com) is proud to announce the release of the v2.14 massive update for the critically-acclaimed, highly flexible wargame construction kit and World War 2 operational wargame, Advanced Tactics: Gold.

The v2.14 update has been in the works for months and contains numerous additions and improvements.  The most exciting new feature is the addition of Commanders.  Random commanders and an officer pool have been added in a separate new random game module called "New Dawn".  Commanders can gain levels with experience. Levels bring higher combat and morale bonuses and can also bring the commander action cards and feats. This update also includes changes in Random games, strategic map enhancements and other minor bug fixes.

About Advanced Tactics: Gold

Based on the award winning game engine by the same name, Advanced Tactics: Gold offers a unique and infinitely replayable wargaming experience for any strategy fan. Building off of the enormous success of Advanced Tactics: World War II, the Gold edition gives players a more powerful game editor, much improved random game engine, many new features and abilities, and more. Advanced Tactics: Gold also comes with an updated manual and ever-changing and expanding wiki, a freshly revamped scenario bank, new graphics throughout the game, more troop types, as well as some new scenarios. VR Designs has also been hard at working listening to player feedback, so Advanced Tactics: Gold also comes with many incremental changes and improvements based on community feedback!

But perhaps the most exciting feature in Advanced Tactics: Gold is the near limitless potential for replayability. The strong mod community will be able to create engaging, rich scenarios with the vastly improved editor, and players looking to hop straight into the action can enjoy a much improved random game experience that comes with many new rules, actions, and gameplay mechanics.
