Tuesday, June 1 2004

Newest mission takes place in Iraqi hot spot.

Kuma\War has launched Samarra Stryker Brigade, the company’s third mission re-created from the military hotspot of Samarra, Iraq,.

Taking place during one of the most volatile periods in the war, just days after Saddam Hussein’s capture, the newest mission from Kuma\War re-creates an actual Styker mission which took place in Samarra, Iraq, in the Sunni Triangle. Samarra Stryker Brigade occurs as soldiers of the Stryker Brigade are ambushed by insurgents using schoolchildren as human shields. The revolutionary tactics of the Stryker Brigade and the capabilities of this much-heralded vehicle are put to the test.

Based on extensive research and expert military analysis from Kuma’s team of decorated military advisors, Kuma\War Samarra Stryker Brigade puts players in an intense 3D re-creation of the battle so they can experience it for themselves, and judge the effectiveness of the Stryker – a product of the US Army’s next generation of tactical theory.

In the coming weeks, subscribers can expect to receive more missions that further explore the explosive situation in Iraq leading up to the June 30 hand-over of power, including missions in Fallujah and in Baghdad’s Sadr City. Also soon to be released is a package of three tactical simulations created by Kuma Military Analyst Staff Sergeant Dan Snyder, designed specifically for multiplayer. Kuma will also respond to breaking news events as they occur around the world.

Kuma\War is available for download and free trial at www.kumawar.com and can be purchased for a $9.99 per month subscription fee. As a salute to the men and women in uniform who have served their countries, Kuma Reality Games will donate $1 of all paid subscriptions to The Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund, which was created to assist the families of the nation's fallen heroes killed in duty.
