A GREAT strategy/wargame
Operational theatre as you can see by the pics. I used to play this a lot back in the day and I even made a short stream on it (the Atari ST version, but they are basically the same) I will link to in the end of this review. The game has you playing one of several scenarios, from either side of NATO or Warsaw Pact, during the 1980s. Basically WW3 in Europe. There is so much variety here for multiple playthroughs that it is a great value for money. It was great value for money even when it was a new game at full price. You are in charge of the side of choice and you give orders to each "unit"/"army" under your command. Each of them is made up of supplies, infantry, armor and close air support, from zero to 9. You have limited number of support points for each, for each turn. The number of support points, but also of starting armies and locations, depends on the scenario and on the situation in the war. You can check, among other information, the number of supplies you get each turn or are about to take, from one of the monitors on the bottom of the screen. Monitors which have other info and decision making, like use of special forces, use of the airforce, chemical and biological weapons and short, medium and long range nuclear weapons, both strategic and battlefield variety. You give orders to your armies where to move and where to attack. If close by and if in supply, you can order more than one army to attack an enemy. This way you can effectively flank, surround and cut off enemy forces, or not. It's up to you. The game has great atmosphere with a capital A. Especially of course if you were alive at the time. One of the best strategy games of its time and I 100% recommend it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-w7GAUtgPX4
