From the article:"Hell-tech, a Greek publishing and distribution company, has announced that it has secured the publishing rights to critically acclaimed PC-based action-oriented Real-time Strategy game "9th Company: Roots of Terror" from ND Games for Greece, Cyprus, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Bulgaria, Netherlands, Belgium..."
Just a couple more games to get you through the weekend.
Game Vortex writes: "In December, 1988, a company consisting of 45 Russian troops held a hilltop against an estimated 400 Mujahideen and Pakistani mercenaries for two days. Six men were killed and 28 wounded by the time hostilities ceased. Now, Strategy First is recreating this epic battle and the events leading up to it in the upcoming Real-Time Strategy (RTS) game 9th Company: Roots of Terror."
The movie based around the same company is a wonderful example of creating a engrossing character.
I have yet to find a film to match what 9 company did emotionally.
The game looks interesting but I am a FPS, TPS, Racer so I doubt I'll buy it.
9th Company is an action-oriented real-time strategy game based on actual events that took place during the Soviet military campaign in Afghanistan, following the story of a ragged band of young recruits undergoing brutal training in Uzbekistan's Fergana Valley and culminates with a bloody stand against the Mujahideen warriors on a nameless mountain top in Afghanistan.
