New York (December 6, 2006) – Kuma Reality Games and The History Channel® today announced the release of “Shootout!: Tet Offensive,” an all-new multi-player “game-isode” that puts players inside the series of bold and bloody battles that turned the tide of the Vietnam War, known as the Tet Offensive. Tune in to the coinciding “Shootout!” episode on The History Channel December 8 at 8:00pm ET/PT, and then log on to www.History.com or www.KumaGames.com to test your skill in the historically accurate setting of the Vietnam War.

The latest “Shootout!” chapter captures the essence of the Vietnam war in 1968 at the start of the Lunar New Year Celebrations, transporting players 20 miles northwest of Saigon where an American platoon has been battered and bloodied and is in dire need of back-up after a surprise offensive by Vietnamese forces. Gamers serve as members of the reinforcement troops of the Bravo Company who swoop through, quickly tracking the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese troops. The action escalates as their stealthy pursuit soon leads to a harrowing shootout through the jungles surrounding An My.

Using heavy 3D CGI animation sequences, players can experience the thick of the battle from the viewpoint of the historical participants themselves. Viewers of the show can log onto www.History.com or www.KumaGames.com and download the online game for free immediately after each episode airs.

Tune in to “Shooutout!: Tet Offensive” Friday, December 8 at 9:00pmET/PT on The History Channel, and play the re-creation of the episode online at www.History.com or www.KumaGames.com.

I really like this series. It gives me ideas for scenarios for A&A Minis. I also saw that on Friday they will also be showing Monte Casino on Lost Evidence and Zeros and Hellcats on Dogfight. They also have a new show on at 11pm called Combat Garage where they work on an M4A3 Sherman. Friday nights are more exciting now.
