New Mission Re-creates Ambush of Four-Star General
John P. Abizaid
New York (May 24, 2004) – Kuma\War, the
revolutionary new online game service that allows players to experience
re-creations of real world military events weeks after they occur
via advanced gaming technology has launched its second mission from
the military hotspot of Fallujah, Iraq -- Fallujah
Abizaid Attack. Based on the February 12, 2004 assassination
attempt on General John P. Abizaid, commander of all U.S. forces
in the Middle East, Fallujah Abizaid Attack re-creates
the General’s narrow escape and the swift counter-attack by America’s
82nd Airborne Division and friendly Iraqi troops as they hunt down
the insurgent attackers.
Based on extensive research and expert military
analysis from Kuma’s decorated team of military advisors, Kuma\War
re-creates multiple incidents leading up to the current crisis in
Fallujah. In Fallujah Abizaid Attack players have the opportunity
to explore and question the crucial events surrounding the failed
attack on General Abizaid, including the brutal police station raid
just two days later that killed 17 newly trained Iraqi Police Officers,
(Kuma\War playable mission Fallujah Police Station Raid),
in Fallujah Vigilant Resolve players join the Marine 1st Expeditionary
Force as they advance upon the core of the Iraqi resistance.
“At Kuma Reality Games we are an important adjunct
to traditional news. Our immersive 3-D tools simulate the experience
of being with the troops in the streets of Fallujah. We give players
a better appreciation of the tactical aspects of these events and
a closer connection to the individuals who are putting themselves
at real risk in Iraq today,” said Keith Halper, CEO of Kuma Reality
Games.
In the coming weeks, subscribers can expect to
receive more missions that further explore the explosive situation
in Iraq leading up to the June 30 hand-over of power. Kuma will
also respond to breaking news events as they occur around the world.
