Some upgrades and improvements to this addicting turn-based Cold War-era strategy game

Matrix Games and On Target Simulations are happy to announce the release of a new update for Flashpoint Germany. This latest update comes with a handful of changes which include an improvement to browsing unit waypoints and a fixed memory leak in Windows Vista.

David Heath, Director of Operations at Matrix Games, said “This update illustrates our continuing support for released titles and our commitment to Vista compatibility for the future. Thanks to the efforts of the dedicated Flashpoint Germany team, gamers will be able to continue enjoying this game for years to come on the new Vista operating system.”

Rob Crandall of On Target Simulations added “This update is short but sweet and we’re more than happy to continue improving our product as gamers continue to enjoy Flashpoint Germany.”

Flashpoint Germany is a powder keg of a game, set in one of the most dangerous periods of the Cold War. The historical fall of the Berlin Wall, which heralded the fall of Communism throughout Europe, does not happen. Instead, the Soviet Union, knowing that collapse is on the horizon, decides to seek a military solution to their internal problems. The invasion of Western Europe by huge Soviet and Warsaw Pact armies threatens to overwhelm the desperate NATO forces that deploy to stem the tide. Will you choose to lead Mother Russia’s men and material to a victory that will see the Hammer and Sickle raised over the Rhine? Or will you take the grim task of commanding the small but capable NATO forces, looking to extract a high toll from the onrushing invaders? Regardless of outcome, this most likely will be the war to end all wars!

Get more information on Flashpoint Germany from its official Matrix Games webpage. This update is comprehensive and will bring Flashpoint Germany up to version 1.13.

Thank you for continuing to support this great game. You've given me an excuse to fire it up again [:D]

We enjoy the game too. Keeping it current and playable until the new game makes its way on the scene is high on our list. Some of these minor bugs (especially with Vista) need to be addressed in the new game engine too.
 
Thanks for the kind words. [:)]

No it is a spammer.

Thank you ........ [:D]

Right now, we are still looking for some scenario design help. WE have the data in and I"m working to get more refined OOB data put togther and in the game and Rob is AI tweaking and bug killing after our recent port to Delphi 2010 (adds in unicode support and even touch screen capability, good thing I have one to test with).

So if you know anyone how wants to help make scenarios post or PM.

Thanks! [8D]

hi

bought this game last night and am enjoying it, currently running on Windows 7 and the only thing I've noticed is that the Orders drop-down down-arrow in the bottom right hand corner is squashed.

the other things are:
iv50 codec needed to run Matrix Intro Video.
the notice that only these systems are supported.

so far I'm really loving this tactical simulation and extremely interested in its future.

Were there ever any new scenarios added for this game?

Feeling the itch to fight NATO vs WP....we'll see.

Good Hunting.

There were some add-on scenario packs; Blue Star and Red Star. Other than that, nothing new, no.

Hmmmm....may have to take a look at doing some scenarios for this game then. I have been locked away on the Eastern Front for these past 3 years. Time to do some modern combat I think.

Good Hunting.

I'm getting a not installed error on the update?!
