PRESSRELEASE

BCT Commander and its predecessor Brigade Combat Team are the creation of Captain Patrick Proctor, Field Artillery, U. S. Army. Based on the battalion/brigade level tactical simulator, JANUS, and designed for and used by the army to train its senior commanders, this windows-based simulation retains all of the realism of its mainframe- based predecessor, while improving on the user interface by using windows-style point and click commands. Now, BCT Commander gives the fans what they have been asking for - BCT, The Construction Set, and both Expansion Packs all in one physical package with an awesome updated manual and CD.

Plus:

Contains 12 new scenarios, never seen in any other expansion pack. Includes the BCT JRTC Special Edition, which almost no commercial users have.

Contains new versions of both BCT and the Construction Set, including color maps at every zoom level.

Also included are Expansion Pack #1 and Expansion Pack #2. The installer package for BCT Commander installs the game with all of the add-ons and does it all in one, integrated package.

This software product contains an updated user guide. It also contains a ton of web help content. This is a Limited Edition offering and will be available for a limited time only!

Richard Arnesen, Director of Covert Operations for Shrapnel Games, said, "For those of you who missed BCT the first time, or for those who want the ultimate BCT experience, this is the perfect time to see if you have what it takes to be an officer in the U.S. Army. Patrick Proctor has really outdone himself in offering a ton of simulation and gameplay in one single package."
