Slitherine merged with Matrix Games in 2010.[5] Slitherine works with the US military and defense contractors to supply simulation software. The primary simulation is a professional version of the commercial game Command Modern Air & Naval Operations.[6] In 2014, Slitherine Group acquired Shenandoah Studio, American developer of Battle of the Bulge and Drive on Moscow.[7]
Alongside their video games, Slitherine publishes a series of manuals for their tabletop wargame Field of Glory. The game is primarily set in the Ancient and Medieval time periods of European and Middle Eastern History. There are also plans to expand the game to include the Renaissance and Napoleonic Wars. Each new setting will have its own rules system and set of companion books.[citation needed]
A game engine built by Slitherine was used on the TV series Deadliest Warrior.[43]
