War RTS from authors of the excellent Nexus: The Jupiter Incident. The game focuses on the tactical side of the clashes and does not bother about the typical for this genre expansion of the base. The authors have prepared an extensive campaign for a single player, as well as a multiplayer mode, in which we can fight with other people, or join forces with them against SI.

General Info

Since the end of the Cold War, the world has dramatically changed. The threats our military is asked to confront are vastly different from the past. We must not only prepare for the perils of today, but also develop capabilities that will ensure a robust capacity to deter and defeat future threats. Indeed, the dangers that confront us today were, in many cases, secondary yesterday.

It is indeed tragic that diplomacy has failed, but there are times when the use of force may be legitimate in the pursuit of peace. - Kofi Annan, U.N. secretary-general, March 24, 1999.
