Peruse the various battles across a real map of Western Europe in this Google Earth tour
Matrix Games and Panther Games are thrilled to release a Google Earth tour of the battlefields featured in their highly anticipated wargame, Command Ops: Battles from the Bulge. The tour features battle locations with descriptions, in-game map overlays over the present-day satellite terrain, battle lines with German counterattack objectives, and more!
Getting the Battlefield Tour working is quick and easy:
- Download and install Google Earth. (550 KB)
- Download the Battlefield Tour. (Direct Link - 70 MB)
- Double click the Battlefield Tour (which is named “BattlesfromtheBulge-BattlefieldTour.kmz”).
- Google Earth will automatically open and load the Battlefield Tour.
- The “Temporary Places” list located at the “Places” pane in the top left of the screen will list all battles, map overlays, battle lines, and other features which can be toggled on and off. Note that selecting to display all of the tour’s features at once may cause Google Earth to respond very slowly.
David Heath, Director of Operations at Matrix Games, said "The level of realism and historical detail found in Battles from the Bulge would please any history buff. The map overlays depicting the terrain layout found in-game vis-à-vis the satellite imagery is nothing short of stunning!"
