Title: Tank sim
Post by: Ack-Ack on July 30, 2005, 08:24:26 PM
Just ran across this game.

T-72: Balkans on fire (http://www.battlefront.com/products/t72/overview.html)

You play a Soviet tank commander that volunteered to fight for Serbia during the Balkan's mess.  

Didn't know there really was a Russian volunteer unit that took part in that war.  Anyway, actually looks like a cool game but I don't know if I'd like to play as a Serb.  I wonder if they also have ethnic cleansing missions in that game.

I played the demo when it was published, but I really wasn't convinced by it.
