Panzer General: Allied Assault announced

Ubisoft announces it will be releasing Panzer General: Allied Assault on Xbox LIVE Arcade for the Xbox 360 this fall. Developed by Petroglyph, Panzer General: Allied Assault is a single and multiplayer digital card game that takes place during the last phase of World War II (from 1944 to 1945). Players can reenact famous World War II battles such as Utah Beach, Operation Market Garden, and the infamous Battle of the Bulge. They’ll apparently be able to do this with a combination of building, customizing and fighting with a personalized deck of 60 digital cards.

Panzer General: Allied Assault is scheduled for release in Fall 2009. Petroglyph has also licensed Panzer General: Allied Assault with Ubisoft to publish a physical board game based on the upcoming game. Combining the best of a card game and board game, this World War II “lite” wargame includes 240 action and unit cards, provides solo and 2 player scenarios and can be played in under an hour. This will be released in the Fall of 2009 with a MSRP of $59.99.
