March 23^rd, 2006 (9:48am) - Strategy First and developer MAUS Software announced today that Battle of Europe has shipped to retailers nationwide.

"We are really excited that this game is now available to North American customers," said Illya Tkachuck, Product/Marketing Manager at Maus Software. "In the World War II era, there were no complicated automatic systems inside aircrafts: pilots controlled everything by themselves. Our game gives players the possibility to experience that reality first-hand."

Battle of Europe is a fully 3D arcade action game. Taking place in the skies over Europe, players are taken through a terrain modeled for London, Norway, Dunkirk, and Berlin.

Whether the sortie puts the player in the seat of a traditional British Spitfire, or behind the throttle of a captured German prototype, the honor of the RAF must be maintained at all costs in order to keep the Axis forces at bay!

Battle of Europe is now available at Best Buy, for a suggested retail price of $19.99. Battle of Europe is rated E-10 for Everyone 10 and older, by the ESRB.
