October 17^th, 2005 (10:32pm) - Shrapnel games has announced that The Star and the Crescent, a modern warfare simulation title from developer ProSIM Company has been shipped worldwide.

Originally slated to ship near the end of September, the production unfortunately hit a few snags that delayed the release until today. Gamers who have pre-ordered this title should expect to be the first ones to receive it, which will of course depend on where you live.

The Star and the Crescent is a Windows-based real-time simulation of modern combined arms warfare during the Arab-Israeli Wars, developed by ProSIM Company and designer PanClan Game Design (who also designed Raging Tiger: The Second Korean War). Using an enhanced ATF: Armored Task Force game engine, the same engine that has also been applied to real-world defense applications, players will refight battles between
the state of Israel and its Arab neighbors in ’56, ’67, ’73, and then do battle in hypothetical future clashes. It features both a strong single-player element, along with
plenty of multiplayer elements and the ability to create your own scenarios.
