Let me know if you want longer and simpler or shorter and more appealing. I had a more graphicly pleasing article started but it was taking way to long to compose it so I went for something much simpler. I also tried to stay away from the super-popular games and try to give some lesser-known titles a bit of love if I did choose a big title it’s due to its discount being very good.

I shot for around 30% or higher but there are a few exceptions. Also, I tried to pick the games with the larger discounts. Unless otherwise stated I have hands-on experience with each of the games and would recommend them based on my experience with them. On the 11th steam kicked off their annual sale for the Lunar New Year and we have some great deals on strategy and strategy-related games.īefore I get into it, I wanted to take a minute to explain my rationale for the picks. I mean who doesn’t its like Christmas multiple times a year. But Eugene could try experimenting with new engines and graphics and then try a modern military theme.I love Steam sales. I guess what I'm basically saying is that I do not think making a whole new game for 2017 is necessary, but could probably be achieved through a DLC. For the most part, the game can arguably be played as it is as far as 2004, but from there they game needs to accommodate Russian modernization and collapse of the Soviet Union, the EU forces would relatively stay the same, excluding the Polish military which went through a major rehaul. the US Army now has airburst rifle systems and the THAAD missile system has replaced the patriots, which failed for the most part in Iraq. The US Marine can engage targets at 800 yards instead of 525 as seen in the game with new Trijicon sights and other systems. The US has a lot of hard lessons learned from the campaigns in Iraq and Afganistan, from there new systems, techniques, and weapons have been employed. I agree with your analysis of the role of battleships and other outdated naval components, but I am going to have to disagree with you on the evolution of warfare and technology since 1990. Modern navies rely much more heavily on missile (guided missile cruisers for example.) Direct-fire weapons system's don't have much a place on combat warships anymore, with the exception perhaps in providing sea to shore fire support. The differences would probably be more pronounced though among some of the smaller nations.Īs for battleships there's a reason why they're not used anymore, despite being awesome. Excluding a few notable exceptions such as the F-22/F-35 and striker. Most changes have been in the fields of command&control systems and guidance. Really though not much has changed between the 1990's and today aside from a few new units and some more updated varients/tech. Originally posted by Jeff:I'm guessing their going to further the current trend of updating units and selling them with some new maps and a new feature or two for 40$ for sometime into the future.
