Sudden Strike III demo

Plus a small demo patch.

Fireglow Games has released a 127MB demo of forthcoming World War II strategy title Sudden Strike III: Arms for Victory.

The demo offers a lone single-player mission where players must use a US landing force to overrun coastal defences and sort out some Germans loitering inland.

And it's worth noting that the release of the demo on Friday was followed swiftly by a minor patch release on Fireglow's forum (direct file link) addressing what's described as a specific graphics problem.

Sudden Strike III is due out in Q4 2006, with a publisher still to be confirmed. See the official website for details.
