Not sure there's actually a game in there.  The manual is barely three pages long.

I've seen this game engine before. Years ago there was a modern unit sim that went under the name 'Talava', 'Tavala', or something like that. Then later it appeared again with WW2 units. It looked more like a training sim than a game.

I wish I could find a link to that first one but I cannot.  :(


It does look like the engine has been around. Requirements: Win 7, Pentium4, and at least 4 Gig of RAM:

Reminds me a little of a less point-to-point version of Panzer Doctrine (which is rather an interesting little game).

It is now released on Steam & I very nearly purchased as it seems of the type that interests me. But..........I already have soooooo many games that I don't play (like all of you, I guess) so will wait for positive reviews, preferably from this Grogheads site rather than on Steam.

I was interested enough to hit the buy button. But my Norton 360 does not like it, and deletes it as a security risk every time I try to run it. I have seen this before, and may be due to just not enough folks having purchased it yet (and therefore norton not having enough experience with it). Hopefully the problem fixes itself in a week or so.

^ Can't you add the EXE as an exception?

I'm holding off after too many other recent purchases (with others coming soon), but I'm definitely still interested.
