Cuban Missile Crisis Gold

GONE GOLD posted on 11 NOV 2005 by Sean Drummy

Everyone's favorite Cold War memory is almost ready to unfold in the digital realm.

Strategy First has today sent word that their sequel strategy title, Cuban Missile Crisis: The Aftermath, is gold. Developed by G5 Software, CMC: The Aftermath is the sequel to a similar title by the same developer.

Cuban Missile Crisis: The Aftermath is described by Strategy First as an "interesting mix of real-time and turn-based global strategy." As was the case during the trying times of the Cold War, players will relive the political experiences of Americas leaders as they confront a world "ravaged by military and political confrontation."

Here are some features, comrade:

  • Varied types of weapons and equipment - helicopters, rockets, reconnaissance troops, etc.
  • Radioactive contamination zones that have an influence upon military equipment and troops.
  • Alternative history timeline which assumes that the actual Cuban Missile Crisis provoked a nuclear disaster in 1962.
  • Combines both turn-based strategy mode and Blitzkrieg's real-time strategy mode.
  • Dozens of missions, through four sides of the conflict (USSR, French and German Alliance, China, American and British Alliance).
  • Maximum usage of Blitzkrieg engine potential.
  • Use maps to place, group and position your forces for a strategic attack.
  • In the turn-based strategy mode, every single turn is limited, adding realism to the whole experience of the game.
  • Non-critical additions, such as optional missions, add depth to the gameplay.
  • Radioactive contamination zones that have an influence upon military equipment and troops.
Cuban Missile Crisis: The Aftermath is expected to hit stores by the end of this month. Get more information from Strategy First.
