I've already given a quick round-up of ECTS on the news page. However, I have a shedload more material to share with you. Hence I'm doing a company-by-company round-up (with actual screenshots) to let you in on ALL the games to expect in the not-too-distant future. First up, we have 1C.

1C COMPANY

1C are the largest publisher in native Russia. So far, only a limited number of games have seen their way to Western Europe, most notably their IL-2 Sturmovik flight sim. Below, I give a breakdown of their forthcoming titles:

IL2-Sturmovik: The Forgotten Battles expansion pak

As with its predecessor, Ubi Soft is taking care of this in the West. This is an upgrade to the incredibly popular IL2, and appears to be a well-featured expansion. It features a host of new aircraft and locations, with 2 campaigns, 20 single-player missions and 10 co-op missions. It's currently set for release on 15th November, so stay tuned. For those who want the blurb:
