After teasing gamers with partial screenshots Virtual Programming has confirmed it will be bringing Gas Powered Games' Supreme Commander 2 to Mac users. The real time strategy game drops players into the middle of a war between three galactic empires and gives them the chance to command enormous armies comprised of a host of customizable units.

Set 25 years after the events of the original game, Supreme Commander 2 begins with the assassination of the newly elected president of the Colonial Defense Coalition. The CDC members — the United Earth Federation, the Order of the Illuminate, and the Cybran Nation — deny involvement, blame each other and galactic war ensues...
