Thanks for the heads up.... I have had Silent Storm on my wish list since it was released on GOG, but waited for a sale. Now that it is here, any thoughts from anyone who has played it?

Silent Storm is a fantastic little game. Turn-based tactical squad gameplay, with fully deformable scenery. You basically manage a squad of WWII soldiers who are divided into classes (sniper, grenadier etc) and send them on missions. It gets almost everything right: the atmosphere, the gameplay, the mechanics, the character advancement, etc. The only real problem with it is that it...changes slightly, half way through the game. I won't spoil the surprise, but some people hated it while others weren't bothered. I wasn't bothered, personally.
You'll get your money's worth for sure. It's one of the few games I've ever played obsessively through to completion. :)

You won't regret it, it's a stonking game. I have the original box around here somewhere...I wonder if it works on Win7-64.
The one tip I'll give you is to be very careful with grenades... ;)
