this turn based strategy game is where i cut my teeth learning the art of battlefield strategy. The music was great and trying to get the high ground for your canons and troops to dig in was amazing. The reenactment scenes were always entertaining and trying to keep your troops moral up was always a struggle.
It was one of my and still is one of my favorite turn based strategy games.
This is one of the earliest games I remember playing. It was at some old friend of my Dad's house that I went to once or twice. Turn based hexagonal strategy game that reminds me a lot of Panzer General. For that reason alone is enough for me to get it outright. I remember hearing "The Bonnie Blue Flag" playing during the game and being catchy. I greatly enjoyed watching the short live action reenactment battle clips played during each attack. It was great!
Soviet StrikeIn 1991, the U.S.S.R. (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) boasting the largest military force in history, suddenly and unexpectedly collapsed. Since that time the fallen empire has lain lifeless -- a rich corpse waiting to be picked clean. Now, a sinister ex-KGB general codenamed Shadowman directs a flock of vultures to swoop in from all parts of Eastern Europe and claim Russia's nuclear warheads and weapons of mass terror. While directing these 'wars of liberation' Shadowman intends to shake democratic Russia to it's foundations, bringing about a return to the Cold War...or even worse. You chopper into Crimea and discover the plot of this Russian madman using thermal spy devices. You must quickly move on to the Black Sea to prevent the hijacking of ICBM ships, respond to an attack on a chemical weapons plant in the desert passes, and then recover a nuclear reactor core in Transylvania. As you successfully thwart these stages of Operation Vulture, Shadowman is forced to take his coup to the streets of Moscow. Guide your chopper through five unique 3D worlds as you complete 41 deadly missions. Enemy vehicles, tactics, and responses change, based upon your activities, making this the first of STRIKE's new "Living Battlefields".Action Warfare
