Flashpoint Campaigns Red Storm Player's Edition

Flashpoint Campaigns: Red Storm Player's Edition is a detailed strategy game in which you command either NATO or Soviet forces locked in battle across 1980s Central Europe, in a scenario where the Cold War has turned hot and World War III has begun. As commander, you draw up the battle plan and issue orders, weighing mission objectives, the strengths and weaknesses of both sides, the terrain, the weather, and the time of day.

Your crews do their best to follow orders, but no plan survives first contact, so you must think on the fly and adapt to the shifting flow of battle. The game uses an innovative asynchronous turn structure that models the OODA loop, with variable-length turns tied to your forces' command and control state. Hundreds of meticulously researched 1980s platforms and weapons cover aircraft, helicopters, tanks, APCs, artillery, and even chemical and nuclear arms.

More than 20 scenarios and four campaign games are set on over 20 maps based on real Central European terrain, against a crafty AI. Dynamic weather affects weapons and sensors, an active fog-of-war system makes reconnaissance vital, and built-in editors for maps, scenarios, and campaigns plus a mod-friendly design support a large community. This Player's Edition adds visual improvements, expanded multiplayer options, and refined combat logic.
