The one I recall had to be from the 90s because I'm sure I recall a scenario based off a battle between a flight of US Navy jets, and an Iraqi air force unit during the First Gulf War.
#SHATTERED UNION TRAILER SERIES#
There are some other navy games that not being here is more understandable like the Age of Sail series, and Fleet Command but I would still buy them if they came here.Īlso there was a tactics game, and maybe a series but if so I think I only played the first game, that I don't recall the name of focused on fighter jet battles. I can't believe the Harpoon series isn't here already. And there are some US Civil War games I found on Steam, either new games or remakes of one from my childhood that I would gladly buy again if GOG gets them.Īnd more Navy focused games. And most or all of the US Civil War games GOG does have came out when I was an adult rather then when I was a kid. I remember playing tons of strategy and tactics games focused on the war or its battles when I was a kid but GOG only has a handful, and all the ones I know of GOG having are focused on the tactical level rather then the strategic level. I would love for there to be more US Civil War games on GOG. About Carriers at Wars, the theme is interesting, too. Real time and very strategic.Ībout Age of Rifles, never tried it, but it had a good reputation. Easy to learn, but it will make you think if you want to master it. The graphics are simple but serve their purpose. Great engine, inspired by the key thoughts of Sun Tzu’s Art of War. Also modern computer might run everything more fluently as well.Ī game that deserves a place in GOG is The Ancient Art of War. The only con is that the flow of the turns was a bit slow, but it improved by using the numeric keyboard for giving commands. You choose them and equip them to form your stick of paratroopers. Because that was one of the beauties of 101st: each soldier has definite traits and personality, and you get to know each by name (imagine the UFO series and preparing for missions, now imagine it improved by several orders of magnitude). Also, in real missions not every unit member was available. Planning for a resilient team that would “make do” even if some elements got lost was lots of fun. The game encouraged “make do” with what you had at hand. Clear difference between training missions and real missions (where all kind of chaos might happen starting from the jump). It limited stacks to 4 units per hexagon and showed them in the lower part of the screen.ġ01st in Normandy: Overal rather original. Ditto for: Ardennes Offensive and 101st Airborne in Normandy.Īrdennes Offensive: An accessible wargame that looked nicely. Some of the old Empire Interactive games like The Civil War and 101st Airborne in Normandy. The Talonsoft games especially their Battleground series (especially their American Civil War games), also Age of Sail. SSG: Carriers at War and games from their Decisive Battle series like Ardennes Offensive. Romance of the Three Kingdoms II, III and IVĬMOT70: Some old SSI games: Great Naval Battles series (WW2 real time 1sec=1sec naval strategy), Fighting Steel (WW2 tactical naval sim), Age of Rifles (excellent turn based small unit game covering the imperial era), Soldiers at War (WW2 turn based tactical squad sim). WWII Prisoner of War (Codemasters) (trailer: ) Panzer Elite Action Gold (gameplay: t=309s)
History Channel: Legends of War Patton (X360 gameplay: ) History Channel: Civil War – A Nation Divided History Channel: Civil War - Secret Missions History Channel: Battle for the Pacific (gameplay: ) Genghis Khan and Genghis Khan II: Clan of the Gray Wolf (GOG) Deadly Dozen 2: Pacific Theater (trailer: ) What military / war games do you wish would be brought to GOG?īattle Academy BBC 2 (gameplay trailer: )Ĭombat Mission: Battle for Normandy (trailer: )Ĭombat Mission: Final Blitzkrieg (gameplay: )Ĭombat Mission: Fortress Italy (trailer: ) While I've found a number of good military / war games on GOG, there are a number IMO that GOG's missing. not any real thirst for blood or conflict). I play a variety of game genres, but my favorite is war games - specifically WWII (and yes, my interest was spawned by wanting to simulate and learn / experience history.
