Latest in Wargame series features RNZAF units

[htbrst]

I know real-time strategy games aren't exactly a popular past-time for most on here, I thought I should still share that the latest version in the Wargame series, Wargame Red Dragon features a number of RNZAF (and army) units.

It focuses on the years 1975 - 1991, and the RNZAF units are part of the ANZAC battlegroup. It comes out next week on the 17th

The RNZAF units are:

Can you give an example of a older game this one resembles. Is it more like Harpoon or Command and Conquer?

[htbrst]

More like Command and Conquer I guess , the 'resources' are based on holding points on the map which affects the rate of points available to call in reinforcements. Most gameplay is based on accumulating a certain number of kill points - a main battle tank might be 100 points, but an empty truck only 1

I played a little of the previous game in the series (Airland Battle) which is based in Europe and enjoyed it, and its fun to use units you don't normally see in games like this - Airland battle has about 750 units available whereas Red Dragon is over 1200 apparently.

After finding out this is an RTS I am VERY intrigued! Just wish my laptop could handle it.

Anyone else had a go at this game yet - i'm quite enjoying playing 10 v 10 multiplayer

The game is on special (33% off) for the next 12 hours on steam bringing it down to $26.79 USD. Pretty sure steam gives you the option to pay in NZD:

I'm not sure my laptop will be able to hack it, unfortunately!
