Armored Brigade is a real-time tactical wargame, set in a hypotetical confrontation between NATO and Warsaw Pact Allies. As Cold War has turned hot, Europe is once again torn apart by conflict. With this expansion, two new nations, Czechoslovakia and Netherlands, are added to the cluster of armies of Armored Brigade. The new playable factions introduced by this expansion have different army compositions and organizational structures, adding more tactical options and giving more complexity on the operational level: CZECHOSLOVAKIA Prior to the 1968 intervention Czechoslovak People's Army was well-regarded both in capability and reliability, and Czechoslovakia was the only Warsaw Pact member that did not have any Soviet forces stationed on its soil up to that point. Offensive warfare was seen as the essential and principal form of combat and the chief instrument to achieve victory over the enemy. However, the armed forces underwent a political purge after the short period of reform in the late 1960s that culminated in an invasion by the armies of five other Warsaw Pact members. Large number of officers who had supported the reform movement either voluntarily resigned or were forced out. Western analysts disagreed about whether the Czechoslovak armed forces had ever recovered their pre-invasion size, quality, or morale by the late 1980s. Some questioned their reliability in a prolonged offensive war in Western Europe or in a war that was going badly for Warsaw Pact forces. Other outside analysts believed that the Czechoslovak armed forces were well trained, equipped, and motivated and that they were quite capable of carrying their share of Warsaw Pact operations, particularly in defense of their homeland. While the tactical organization mostly followed the Soviet pattern, there was a degree of local variations and modifications rarely seen in other Warsaw Pact armies. Due to an extensive domestic industrial base predating the communist rule, most of the small arms, crew-served weapons and even vehicles used by the Czechoslovak forces were designed and manufactured locally, sometimes requiring slight changes from the Soviet norm of organization for small units. NETHERLANDS During the Cold War, the Royal Netherlands Army (Koninklijke Landmacht) was committed to two main tasks in the NATO context: participation in the defense of West Germany against ground attacks across the North German Plain, known as “forward strategy”, and ensuring the territorial security of the Netherlands itself and vital lines of communication. While often overlooked in wargaming next to major powers, such as the USA, West Germany and the UK, Netherlands maintained a sizable army and could deploy an entire corps in West Germany, responsible for the left flank of NORTHAG and the British I (BR) Corps. They operated a very interesting mix of equipment, ranging from the venerable Centurion tanks to modernized Leopard 1-Vs and state-of-the-art Leopard 2A4s, alongside reasonably advanced YPR-765 infantry fighting vehicle and unique YP-408 wheeled APCs, all supported by modern aircraft and artillery. Long-haired, trade-unionised conscripts have often given the Dutch Army a bad publicity and raised eyebrows among other NATO armies, but regular cadres were highly professional (and short-haired); logistics were efficient and equipment modern, although a high dependence on reservists did give cause for concern. The Royal Netherlands Army, in final analysis and despite a few problems, was a modern, efficient, well-led and relatively large force seemingly capable of meeting its responsibilities once fully mobilized and deployed in its wartime locations. FEATURES - Two new factions: Czechoslovakia and the Netherlands - More than 200 new units and aircraft - A new map located in the Plzeň Region, Czechoslovakia - A linear campaign inspired by the events of the Prague Spring
Goblins of Elderstone — симулятор колонии, точнее гоблинского племени, со своей безуминкой. Такой игры в жанре градостроения вы еще не видели! Каково это — управлять беспорядком? В роли лидера гоблинского племени вам предстоит заниматься обустройством, управлением и защитой селения от всяческих невзгод (включая самих гоблинов!). Ведь, если не удовлетворять нужды мелких пакостников, бунта не избежать. Для процветания немаловажно быть отличным дипломатом: не так-то просто вести дела с божествами, да и другие расы не отличаются дружелюбием. Присоединяйтесь к гоблинской революции в Discord!Свободное городское строительство Гоблины не в ладах с прямыми линиями, поэтому никаких им строительных сеток. О мятежность и свобода гоблинского духа! Здания можно возводить где угодно, но при этом они удобно соединяются милыми мостиками и переходиками.Большое дерево производства и ресурсов В мире, где гоблинам доступно более 30 видов ресурсов, маленькие сорванцы никогда не будут сидеть без дела. Ведь эти материалы можно не только собирать, производить и обменивать, но и воровать. Так что советуем назначить нескольких надзирателей, которые будут следить за порядком в селении.Племенная, мировая и божественная политика Держите свое племя под контролем, используя искусство убеждения, подарки и порой даже угрозы. Неудачный выбор стратегии грозит кровопролитием или уничтожением целого селения. Но на этом дипломатия не заканчивается: вашим интересам могут послужить другие расы и даже божества.Разведка, рейды, торговля или паломничество Терпение и отзывчивость никогда не были сильными сторонами гоблинов. Им проще поджигать фермы, чем выращивать урожай. По мере роста племени вам придется посылать воинские, торговые и религиозные отряды гоблинов изучать земли вокруг селения в поисках славы и богатства. Что делать с находками — решать вам. Снарядите рейд и унесете все ценное? Организуете торговлю? Или же отправитесь с религиозным походом к святым местам, чтобы порадовать божеств? Решите ли вы прибегнуть к насилию, сотрудничеству, молитве или любой комбинации этих элементов, каждый ваш выбор так или иначе будет влиять на мир.Сюжетные моменты Нет покоя в Элдерстоуне. И множество удивительных историй разворачивается в этих землях. Во время правления вам придется принимать сложные решения, последствия которых могут как ускорить, так и замедлить развитие племени. Вам предстоит иметь дело с чужаками, злыми правителями, коварными драконами и милостивыми божествами. А благодаря писательским талантам Эдвина Макрея (сценариста Path of Exile, BloodGate и других замечательных игр) скучать вам точно не придется.Защита родного племени Опасность подстерегает за каждым углом. Защищайте свое племя от бродячих чудовищ, наглых авантюристов и вражеских рейдовых отрядов. В этом вам помогут караульные и сторожевые башни. Если угроза все же проникнет в селение, включите режим защиты и поднимите на уши всех гоблинов! Работяги и малышня спрячутся в укрытие, а доблестные бойцы порешают проблемы. Кстати, если хорошенько постараться, потом еще можно дать неприятелю сдачи.Друзья и враги Помимо вас, мир населяют и другие расы. Решительные люди, заносчивые эльфы, алчные гномы и гневные орки — все они обретаются где-то поблизости. Тут не обойтись без дипломатии. В лице этих рас вы можете заполучить как врагов, так и союзников. Исследуйте мир и используйте связи для продвижения, балансируя между войной, торговлей и союзом с другими существами. В этом вам помогут легендарные герои и любители приключений. Нанять их можно в таверне.
