Buy Flashpoint Campaigns: Southern Storm PC key

Flashpoint Campaigns: Southern Storm is a grand tactical wargame set during the Cold War, centered on 1989. As a force commander, you plan operations and issue orders and Standard Operating Procedures to battalion, brigade or regimental forces, shaping the battle through maneuver and your intent.

Command and combat

The game uses asynchronous WEGO turns: you issue orders, then watch a variable amount of time unfold on the battlefield before issuing or adjusting orders in response. Your forces are organized into maneuver units, including companies, platoons and sections of tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, infantry squads and teams, reconnaissance forces, engineers, air-defense and anti-tank systems, helicopters and more. You can also call on off-map assets such as long-range artillery, rockets and airstrikes; chemical or nuclear weapons may also be available to support your forces.

The battlefield

Battles take place on rendered real-world maps of 20 km by 15 km or larger. Each hex represents 500 m of militarily significant terrain, and battles can cover 4 to 24 hours of in-game time. Troops may fight at any time of day and in any weather.

The simulation models electronic warfare, air superiority, weather, line of sight and fire, terrain and elevation, smoke, mines, and human factors such as training, morale and readiness. Information dialogs, map overlays and range rings help you assess the situation and your forces' capabilities.

Nations and scenarios

Southern Storm covers areas of Southern Germany across more than 40 maps, with military equipment from 1980 to 1989. You can lead forces from the United States, France, Canada, West-Germany, Soviet Union, East-Germany and Czechoslovakia. Replayable scenarios and campaigns support solo operations and battles alongside allied nations.

Each nation has data on its National Characteristics, Command Parameters and Orders of Battle. Data tables cover era-specific equipment and troops, while weapon systems of the period—including guns, missiles, precision munitions and small arms—are modeled in detail.
