Flashpoint: Germany

The new Cold War turned hot wargame from On Target Simulations, now expanded with the Player's Edition! Choose the NATO or Soviet forces in one of many scenarios or two linked campaigns. No effort was spared to model modern warfare realistically, including armor, infantry, helicopters, air support, artillery, electronic warfare, chemical and nuclear weapons. An innovative new asynchronous turn order means that OODA loops and various effects on C3 are accurately modeled as never before.

Flashpoint: Germany

Post by mirrorshades »

I tend to like old games, and I also tend to have old computers that don't usually handle the bleeding-edge stuff very well. [8D]

I see the old FPG pop up on ebay from time to time. Question is, since I have the Germany Reforged expansion, is it worth picking up the original game as well? Or would it just frustrate me as a more primitive version of the current FPCRS since the scenarios have been ported up?

FPCRS works fine (except for a bit of a screen resolution issue), I'd just be curious to try out the predecessor as well.

FPG is a good game, but it is very different in many ways to what Red Storm is. With GR you have the jist of all the scenarios while running on a better game engine. In the end, it is your call, both games are enjoyable.
OTS is looking forward to Southern Storm getting released!
