A friend and I used to play this about 20 years ago, he played half the guys and I played the other half. We competed to see who could kill the most enemies and get the highest/most medals. Great times!
I remember this game so clearly. 25 years ago, I went with my grandma and grandpa to the local store. At the time, I was too young to buy it myself, but my grandpa didn’t really understand PC games and ended up buying it for me. It was a lovely trip into town and a memory I cherish. Now, all I have left is the game in my drawer and the memory to hold on to. I would love to be able to play it again.
I got this game around the same time as I saw Saving Private Ryan. Soldiers at War felt like the perfect game to compliment my WW2 hype at the time. Similar to Silent Storm if it had maintained a more historically authentic theme throughout, it was a turn based tactical strategy game akin to Xcom. It has been a quarter of a century since I got to play this and I never had the pleasure of playing multiplayer. A GOG release would be an instant buy for me.
This is quite good Jagged Alliance type game, that became at time unplayable as cursor scrolled through screen at light speed and picking up your men was more like matter of luck. Also, this game had at time quite a lot custom missions which might still be available somewhere.

Great inventory management with turned based action. Even when you lose so much you can still come back and win a round. Love this game, would buy it if it was brought back.
I loved this game so much back in the day, but I never finished it. This is something I would love the opportunity to correct. One of my absolute favorites of all time. Such great memories. This game absolutely needs a remake as well, but I really want a playable version of the original.

Black & White 2
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.
