 The Greatest Conflict That Never Was
Flashpoint Germany™ brings you back to the height of the Cold War, before
the collapse of the Soviet Union. Massive armies of incredible power face off
across the West German border. A single decision, a mere moment separated a
tense peace from the most intense and possibly the last war that the world
would ever behold. The stakes could not possibly be higher. You may think you
know how this ends, but in Flashpoint Germany™, it turned out
differently. Step into the maelstrom, choose your side and see what you would
have done, if you were there.
Flashpoint Germany™ portrays the highest intensity and density potential
combat in human history – the Central Front of a NATO vs. Warsaw Pact World War
III. As the General in charge of a regiment or brigade, you give the orders and
let the staff sweat the details. Electronic warfare, tactical doctrine, nuclear
and chemical weapons, air strikes, artillery, smoke and minefields are all
represented, along with a complete database of accurate equipment and unit
types.
Your companies and platoons maneuver on realistic maps of the Germany
countryside in 2 Tutorials and 17 Scenarios. Build your own scenarios, play
against the AI opponent or against another player via TCP/IP or PBEM.
Game Features:
• 4 nationalities, 177 unit types, 195 platform / vehicle types and 112 weapon
types.
• Turn lengths can be set to 10, 20 or 30 minute resolution increments. Game
lengths are 4 to 14 hours but will end sooner if the butcher's bill runs too
high.
• The maps portray a 20 km by 15 km stretch of German countryside. The game is
played on a 500 m by 500 m grid with 8 terrain types plus rivers and streams.
Realistic variations in elevation combined with a detailed spotting model
create surprising vistas and dead ground for units to use to advantage.
• Units are tank and infantry companies with specialist platoons for the Warsaw
Pact, and tank and infantry platoons with specialist sections for the NATO
forces. Units are represented by historically accurate mixes of individual
platforms (vehicles) with individual weapon lists. Troop training, morale and
fatigue are all modelled.
