Flashpoint Campaigns: Germany Reforged Deploys

Ten years ago, the wargaming community was impressed when On Target Simulations, a small but talented development team, released Flashpoint Germany. Set in a hypothetical World War III, this game was especially focused on the complexity of commanding units and leading military operations in a modern context. Players were not almighty but rather limited by realistic orders and plans and challenging battles.

Then the team behind Flashpoint Germany polished the concept, developed a new engine, introduced plenty of new ideas… and released Flashpoint Campaigns: Red Storm (FCRS), a wargame that swept many prestigious awards in 2013 and introduced an entirely new and more realistic command and control system, along with improved graphics and a much better AI. But today it’s time to bring these two releases together! By re-creating the well-designed scenarios and maps of Flashpoint Germany in the cutting edge wargame provided by Flashpoint Campaigns: Red Storm, the team is now releasing Flashpoint Campaigns: Germany Reforged, a completely up-to-date remake of the original Flashpoint Germany game!

This new expansion for Flashpoint Campaigns: Red Storm brings 17 scenarios with 43 variants along with the original Flashpoint Germany maps completely redone to the new graphical standards (with hexes replacing the old grid), a new map which is the largest to date for the Flashpoint Campaigns and an abundance of additional action for American, British, West German and Soviet forces alike!

In order to celebrate this important milestone, they are offering a $10 discount during the week of the launch on the base game (FCRS) and a new bundle which includes the base game and the new Germany Reforged expansion. As always, a free Steam key is also available for anyone who buys a copy of the game or the expansion from the Matrix Games or Slitherine store!

In addition, a new 2.0.10 free update for Flashpoint Campaigns: Red Storm is being released, with a long list of improvements for existing Red Storm owners.

As a journalist John has covered everything from rural town meetings to the U.S. Congress and even done time as a crime reporter and photographer.|His first venture into writing about the game industry came in the form of a computer column called "On the Chip Side," which grew to have over 1 million circulation and was published in newspapers in several states. From there he did several "ask the computer guy" columns in magazines such as Up Front! in New Mexico and Who Cares? in Washington D.C. When the Internet started to become popular, he began writing guided Web tours for the newly launched Washington Post online section as well as reviews for the weekend section of the paper, something he still does from time to time. His experience in trade publications came as a writer and reviewer for Government Computer News. As the editor of GiN, he demands strict editorial standards from all the writers and reviewers. Breeden feels the industry needs a weekly, reliable trade publication covering the games industry and works tirelessly to accomplish that goal.
