What happens when you combine the games you've always dreamed of with the art of wargaming? The best damn thing to happen to the strategy market since the CRT. You also get a joint marketing venture partnership between two of the industry's premiere companies: Eagle Games (http://www.eaglegames.net) of Illinois and Shrapnel Games (http://www.shrapnelgames.com) of North Carolina.

NOVEMBER 6 2003--Besides sounding like something you'd find in a Dilbert strip, what exactly is this joint marketing venture partnership? Essentially Eagle Games and Shrapnel Games are joining forces to sell, distribute, and market their products. Consumers will be able to purchase Eagle Games via Shrapnel Game's online store, The Gamer's Front. Both
companies will also include their partner's product information in their games. Shrapnel Games will also handle distribution of Eagle Games to the retail sector via the newly formed arm of Shrapnel Games, Shrapnel Games Distributing.

Shrapnel Games Distributing will service game and hobby shops worldwide, specifically the "mom and pop" stores rather than the large, megastores like Wal-Mart or CompUSA. The distribution arm of Shrapnel Games is currently concentrating their efforts on the
distribution of Eagle and Shrapnel products, however, Shrapnel Games is very eager to add new partners with quality strategy and conflict products.

Needless to say the founders of both companies are ecstatic at the opportunities presented by this historic occasion. Tim Brooks, president and founder of Shrapnel Games, had the following to say about the partnership: "I am very excited about the relationship we are forging with Eagle Games. I believe this to be in the best interests of both Shrapnel and Eagle Games, as we both are in the same markets and by co-marketing our games, we make sure that our customers are aware of Eagles great products and of course, the opposite is true. We are looking forward to working closely with Glenn Drover and the rest of the Eagle Games Team."

Glenn Drover, founder and president of Eagle Games, remarked, "Eagle Games is extremely happy to be working with Shrapnel Games. Shrapnel's support for the PC strategy gamer is outstanding. The new partnership coincides perfectly with the launch of our first PC game (War! Age of Imperialism) and the launch of the boardgame version
of Age of Mythology."
