In Flashpoint Campaigns: Red Storm, World War Three has started, the Cold War has turned hot. Do you have what it takes to achieve victory on the battlefield or will the world end with all out nuclear war? This update to the turn-based tactical game Flashpoint Capaigns: Red Storm is being rebranded as the “Player’s Edition” as a big thank you to all players that made this game what it is now through feature suggestions, bug reports, and feedback from hours and hours of play.
After the end of World War II, Europe spent years recovering from the losses and the terrible consequences of the conflict. A whole continent found itself divided into two blocs: one lead by the United States with NATO among its allies in the Western bloc, and in the Eastern bloc lead by the Soviet Union along with the Warsaw Pact. Separating the two, an “Iron Curtain” formed of high walls and minefields as well as hundreds of thousands of well armed troops. This was the Cold War, a forty year state of political and military tension between two superpowers that several times came close to starting World War III. While the world survived the Cold War, the effects of the “long twilight struggle” still echo in the geopolitics and military technology and tactics of the present day.
You are the commander of either NATO or Soviet forces locked in battle on the ground in 1980’s Central Europe. As commander, it is your task to provide the battle plan orders to your units. You need to know your mission objectives, strength and weakness of both your forces and you enemy, lay of the land, weather, and time of day in order to come out on the winning end. Your crews will do their best to follow your orders and execute the plan, but in war, no plan survives first contact. You will need to think on the fly and adjust to the ever changing flow of battle.
Flashpoint Campaigns: Red Storm features an innovative asynchronous turn structure that models the OODA loop, huge maps, hundreds of meticulously researched platforms and weapons, detailed orders of battle, realistic modeling of modern combat including armor, infantry, helicopters, airpower and chemical and nuclear weapons, 2 campaigns and over 20 single scenarios, realistic weather conditions, modding options and much more!

In Flashpoint Campaigns, World War Three has started, the Cold War has turned hot. This scenario pack takes the classic scenarios from Flashpoint Germany (2005) and brings them up to the vastly updated standard of the Flashpoint Campaigns game engine of 2015. This is the work of Charles (“Hawkeye”) Belva, a long-time member of the Flashpoint team and a beta tester for the original FPG game.
In Flashpoint Camaigns: Germany Reforged Included are 17 scenarios with 43 variations along with the original four maps completely redone to new graphical standards. The maps now feature hexes instead of the original grid and are the work of William van der Sterren who did the FPRS maps from build 2.0.6 onwards.
In addition to the original four maps is a new map “Eiterberg” which is jumbo sized (40 x 30 km versus the previous 20 x 15 km) and supports larger force structures for adventurous players.
This scenario pack provides anabundance of additional action for American, British, West German and Soviet forces set in the ‘Cold War gone hot’ of 1989.
