Story:Steel Panthers 2 - Modern Battles is the sequel to original Steel Panthers. This game however covers the battles of the latter half of the 20th century. You can experience the Korean War in the early 1950s, Operation Desert Storm in the Persian Gulf in the early 1990s, and also several hypothetical late-1990s scenarios. The major improvements in the strategy over the Steel Panthers are the missile-armed units, refined mobility, and the ability of a unit to look in almost any direction instead of straight at a hex side, movable artillery, and helicopters.Show more

Steel Panthers 2 is the title that turned me on to the war gaming genre. I've owned every game in the series and I've played them for hours and hours on end. I was excited when GOG released a SSI collection, but I was so disappointed when none of the Steel Panthers games were included. Please bring back the original and all the sequels!

Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising
Operation Flashpoint: Dragon RisingOperation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising is a game about a fictitious conflict on one of the Sakhalin islands, a conflict that is in danger of erupting onto a global scale. The player takes the role of a US soldier, part of the allied force fighting against outnumbering Chinese forces vying for control of the island. The game centers on a campaign narrative that gives the player a variety of roles in the allied forces ranging from a Marine Infantry, tank commander, Special Forces and helicopter captain. The game has an incredible realistic depiction of war with careful attention to the detail of the weapons, equipment and tactics of the armed forces. The action is varied from intense fire fights through to slower pace tactical decision making on how to best tackle the mission objectives.
