Our first game, Flashpoint Germany is no longer in print. It stands today as a classic among PC wargames, and was a stepping stone to our current and future games.
The Greatest Conflict That Never Was…Flashpoint Germany™ brought players back to the height of the Cold War, before the collapse of the Soviet Union. Massive armies of incredible power faced off across the West German border. A single decision, a mere moment separated a tense peace from the most intense and possibly the last war that the world would ever behold. The stakes could not possibly have been higher. You may think you know how this ends, but in Flashpoint Germany™, it turned out differently.
Players could step into the maelstrom, choose their sides and see what they would have done, if they were there. Flashpoint Germany™ portrayed the highest intensity and density potential combat in human history – the Central Front of a NATO vs. Warsaw Pact World War III. As the General in charge of a regiment or brigade, the player gave the orders and let the staff sweat the details. Electronic warfare, tactical doctrine, nuclear and chemical weapons, air strikes, artillery, smoke and minefields were all represented, along with a complete database of accurate equipment and unit types. Companies and platoons maneuvered on realistic maps of the Germany countryside in 2 Tutorials and 17 Scenarios. Players could build their own scenarios, play against the AI opponent or against another player via TCP/IP or PBEM.
