Shattered Union

Shattered Union is a modern 3D tactical war game set after terrorism, internal strife and the nuclear destruction of Washington, D.C. leave the United States divided into half a dozen nation-states at war. You lead one of these new sovereignties or the European Expeditionary Force, which is acting as a peacekeeping force, and fight to reunify the country.

Campaign and battles

The campaign has non-linear mission progression, with later events changing according to your decisions. Battles use turn-based moves, but their outcomes resolve in real time: after you choose an action, its results play out in animated scenes of vehicles exploding and cities and forests burning.

The battlefields are fully destructible. Explosions and ruined buildings permanently alter the terrain, while moving tanks leave tread marks that remain for the mission. By its end, little of the battlefield may look the same.

Fight across America

You can bomb Chicago, invade California across the Rockies, capture tank factories in Ohio and lay siege to New York City. The fate of the nation rests on your decisions.

Forces and equipment

You can call up National Guard forces equipped with M1 Abrams battle tanks, Apache helicopters and stealth bombers. Alternatively, you can make a deal with the Russians to equip your forces with MiG fighters and T-95 Heavy Tanks.
