As our catalog gets bigger and better every week, it's easy to lose track of some of the awesome games that we have to offer. We've been running one day "Gaming Gem" promos for a while now to highlight some classic titles that don't get the love of some of our best-known blockbusters like Baldur's Gate or Duke Nukem 3D. To celebrate summer, for the next two weeks until July 25th, we're going to run a Gaming Gem promo every day, so you can rediscover these lesser-known classics! Grab that plastic toy shovel and dig out gem after gem over the next 18 days. We think every game we're going to be offering on our Summer GOG.com Gem Extravaganza will be an excellent title, and we hope you give them all a try.

World War II history freaks, get your monies ready! We have something especially for you on the plate today. If you’re a bit tired of reading about the biggest conflict in the history of humanity, why not recreate it on our PC and not harm anyone? In [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/strategic_command_european_theater]Strategic Command: European Theater instead of being a cog of the war machine, you look at the big picture managing armies, negotiating politics, and making all the strategic decisions. It’s a very complex and detailed representation of a table top wargame, where you as the supreme commander of either Allies or Axis forces play through six campaigns from the very beginning of the conflict till its last days. Although this seems to be a game only appealing to “grognards”, the AI lets less advanced gamers play and enjoy the game. With multiplayer options allowing to play over Internet, hot-seat or the old school way “Play By Email”, the ones looking for a bigger challenge will find something for themselves as well.

Strategic Command: European Theater is 60% off for the next 24 hours and can be yours for only $3.99. Get it until tomorrow, July 25 at 5:59 a.m. EDT (9:59 a.m. GMT). If you already own this title or it’s just not your type of game, be sure to check back tomorrow for the last Summer Gem Promo!
There have been various people interested in a copy of this game, but others have been quicker to respond. Sadly, my gift copy remains on its shelf, languishing for lack of love. (

Is there anybody good-old-game-parent-wannabe willing to adopt this lonely child?

Just take this game from Khalaq, and find by yourself if it's similar to ROTK :P
I was hoping Panzer General II would go on sale instead.

Doubt we'll be seeing it tomorrow.

This looks like a fun game, I used to love all the SSI games like this.
.....but I need to pass, just not enough hours in a day or money in the bank .
I wouldn't turn I gift copy away, but I'd only be adding it to my collection and probably would not play it until next year. I'm sure that there are more deserving candidates than myself, but if remains unclaimed I could find some love for it .

Come on people, stop being incredibly generous people for a second and give me a reason to try this game out! :D
Is it any good? I can't tell!

What's it play like, for instance?

Honestly, outside of other Koei games I haven't played anything that feels quite like the RoTK games, which is a damn shame considering how great of a series it is, especially since Koei seems to be showing no interest in continuing it.

Actually looks like it has potential.. I can't quite tell if it looks fun, or boring. >.>

Now to decide if my bank account will forgive me for buying yet another game. ;)
7th strategy game. Oh GOG, why do you hate me so much...
;)
I think tomorrow is the last gem. What's it gonna be?
