Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance Profile Preview - United Earth Federation
When THQ and Gas Powered Games released Supreme Commander earlier this year, strategy fans everywhere were able to experience truly epic battles on a global scale. The technically impressive game told the story of a war between three rival factions with massive armies of land, air, and sea forces. This war is now set to expand with the Forged Alliance expansion pack, which adds a new playable faction, the Seraphim, and will also update all the existing factions. Join us this time around for a look at the new-and-improved United Earth Federation faction. Forged Alliance is scheduled to ship later this year.
