The little bomber affectionately known as the “Peshka” (Pawn) is the most famous Soviet twin-engine bomber of the war. It was to the twin-engines what the Il-2 was to the single-engines.

Over 20 different modifications were produced during the war, with a total of 11,000 built. The Peshka served from the summer of 1941 well into the Cold War, where it received a NATO reporting name “Buck”.

Get ready behind the commands of your fighter plane and prepare to plunge back into the heart of the greatest aerial battles of 1939 – 1945!

Pe-2 includes almost 95 campaign missions as well as 5 cooperative multiplayer missions, new ground vehicles and, above all, the possibility to pilot the formidable Pe-2, renown for its ability to adapt to all situations, as a bomber or as a fighter. Travel to the most dangerous fronts from Byelorussia to the East Carpathians passing through the Gulf of Finland. Reconnaissance missions, targets to be destroyed, sea battles: intense emotions are guaranteed!

To download and purchase PE-2, go to the following address: http://il2pe-2.download-the-game.com (Price for UK = 9,99 £ / 14,99 €)
PE-2 is also available in France, Germany, and the United Kingdom on portals of the Boonty network.

Pe-2 requires installation of Pacific Fighters.

Re-edited versions of the IL-2 Sturmovik™ Forgotten Battles, IL-2 Sturmovik™ Forgotten Battles Ace Expansion Pack, Pacific Fighters and of IL-2 Sturmovik™ Series: Complete Edition are also available for download at the same address http://il2pe-2.download-the-game.com or on one of BOONTY’s partner sites. These re-edited versions benefit from a new unique graphics engine and can be purchased singly or in a 4 title pack.

LONDON - 10 April 2006 - The Walt Disney Internet Group (WDIG) today announced a distribution agreement with Boonty, a global expert in the digital distribution of video games, to make some of WDIG’s most popular downloadable games available to consumers in Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and the UK. The agreement further raises WDIG’s profile in the downloadable games category and expands its ability to deliver digital content across multiple platforms.

Disney fans across Western Europe can now access exciting games in local language featuring favourite Disney characters, including The Lion King Grubalicious, the Little Mermaid Bubble Blast, Pirates of the Caribbean Pinball and Aladdin Magic Carpet Racing, by going to Boonty’s network of major portals and online retailers such as T-OnLine, Alice, AOL, TF1 and Eurosport.

“The Walt Disney Internet Group intends to make Disney games content readily available to a broadening audience of consumers around Europe by expanding our distribution channels with leading aggregators,” commented Attila Gazdag, managing director at the Walt Disney Internet Group, Europe. “Boonty has the expertise, reach and robust infrastructure required for effective digital distribution, and we are pleased to add them to our network of partners.”

According to media research consultancy Screen Digest, the European casual gaming market is expected to reach close to $400 million by 2009. Much of this growth is coming from the non-traditional gaming audience - up to 65% of casual game players are female and 48% are aged 35-54 - who are particularly attracted by the Disney-branded games experience.

“We are seeing the gaming industry embrace digital distribution globally with increasingly sophisticated services,” commented Mathieu Nouzareth, Boonty founder and CEO. “The intuitive interface and design simplicity of the Disney games are very appealing to our users and we are delighted to be able to add this content to our portfolio.”
