Hell of Men : Blood Brothers
This game is very interesting.
You will found classic mechanical (collect, build, train) but you found good new mechanicals like vehicles that you can have with the capture of strategic point, a cover system, etc… You can’t go with your army in one pack because one roquet can kill all of them!
It’s a challenge and I really like it. If you like RTS you can go !

Nuclear War Simulator
Nuclear War Simulator is a detailed realistic simulation and visualization of large-scale nuclear conflicts with a focus on humanitarian consequences. There are currently over 13000 nuclear weapons on this planet of which over 9000 are in military stockpiles. This software should help you answer the question: what will happen if Russia and the United States or India and Pakistan use their arsenals?
You can design warheads, missiles and carries, place them on the map and execute attack plans to tell a credible story about how nuclear conflicts play out and what are the consequences. Using a high-resolution population density map and realistic weapons effects like blast, heat and radiation you can make an estimate of how many people will die in a conflict.
Nuclear conflict scenarios
You can design realistic large-scale scenarios between major powers with thousands of warheads. Scenarios can be created manually where you can assign each warhead individually or with the assistance of an AI for faster targeting. It is also possible to simulate whole conflicts with a few clicks on the map interactively. You can download scenarios created by other people and upload your scenarios to the mods.io server.
Realistic effects of nuclear weapons
The simulation includes a high-resolution population density grid. The effects of blast, heat, fires and radiation are calculated and visualized for each population cell to estimate fatalities (similar to Alex Wellerstein’s NUKEMAP). The destruction of military targets is simulated using a model considering the CEP of the weapon, target hardness and cratering.
You can place yourself, your family and friends into the simulation to estimate the expected injuries and survival probability. The amount of burnt fuel and produced soot are also calculated to estimate the effects of nuclear winter using a simplified model.
Design and placement of objects
Using an intuitive UI you can design warheads, place them on missiles and into silos, on aircraft, TELs and submarines.
You can then place the forces onto the map simply clicking on it or importing real-world locations from KMZ files.
If you know how much uranium and plutonium is needed for one warhead, you can estimate how many can be build from today’s stockpiles if a country wants to.
Modding and interfaces
The simulation supports some basic modding of unit textures, loading screens and background music. It is also possible to share unit blueprints and scenarios with others.
If you have simulated a conflict in another tool you can import the list of detonations as a simple CSV file to calculate the humanitarian effects. On the other hand, you can also export the list of detonations together with the burnt soot into other tools like detailed climate simulations.

Broken Arrow
Broken Arrow is a large-scale real-time modern warfare tactics game. The base game features both the American and Russian factions, more than 100 units and multiple deck specialisations per nation.
Broken Arrow brings the genre to a whole new level by combining the complexity of a joint-forces wargame with the typical real-time tactics action-packed gameplay.
UNIQUE ARMY BUILDING
Build your army deck by choosing from over 200 different units. Part of the battle is won by planning well: create the right combination of unit types and weapons to defeat your enemy, and don’t forget to consider the terrain when you choose.
Broken Arrow features a wide range of units, that are split into seven categories based on their characteristics: your army deck includes recon units, infantry, fighting vehicles, support units, logistical units, helicopters and airstrikes slots.
-
RECON UNITS: includes infantry, vehicles and drones specialized in the task of spotting and marking the enemy position.
-
INFANTRY: includes line infantry, shock troops, special forces, anti-tank teams, anti-aircraft teams.
-
FIGHTING VEHICLES: includes tanks, ATGM carriers and fire support vehicles.
-
SUPPORT: includes artillery and anti-aircraft vehicles that provide long range support on the battlefield.
-
LOGISTICS:, includes all the units designed to improve combat efficiency by providing ammunition, repairs, medical supplies and much more.
-
HELICOPTERS: includes multipurpose cavalry units best used far from the heatpoints.
-
AIRSTRIKES: includes many different weapons, swarms of tactical missiles and airdrops of troops, vehicles and supplies.
CUSTOM UNITS
Modern vehicles and aircraft are generally compatible with different weapons and armor packages; Broken Arrow features a detailed customisation system that allows you to modify the specific components of your units, either individually or as a loadout.
-
Customize your aircraft by choosing weapons, fuel tanks, designation pods, countermeasure pods and decoys.
-
Add armor or defensive systems to your vehicles and upgrade their weaponry and sensors.
-
Special forces have access to a wide variety of equipment for you to choose: add suppressors, thermal optics, reconnaissance drones, explosive charges and much more.
ACTION-PACKED COMBAT
Choose the right combination of units from your deck and deploy them to the battlefield, via land, the sea or from the air. Use paratroopers and helicopters to rapidly seize key locations, reinforce them with heavy tanks and break enemy counter attacks with artillery and tactical missiles.
Infiltrate special forces behind enemy lines to disrupt enemy logistics and provide laser designation for your planes. Use the terrain to your advantage to ambush, out flank and outsmart your enemy.

Command: Modern Operations
This is basically an heavily updated and improved version of Command Modern Air / Naval Operation (CMANO)- but don’t think that’s a bad thing, in fact it’s a very good thing.
That sentence above might make someone who is unfamiliar with the game think: But why should I then buy CMO (Command Modern Operations) instead of CMANO when the latter is cheaper?
The simple answer to that is that almost all important aspects of the game has been improved, a lot of irritating limitations due to the state of computer hardware when CMANO was released in 2013 has been removed and a lot of new features which not only increases realism, but also makes the game more accessible for newcomers to the operationel level military ops simulation world has been introduced.

If you read some of the reviews here (or watched LPs), you will have a good idea what this game is about.
I want to adress here just some points critizesed quite often in reviews: the missing campaign and/or the lack of scenarios, leading to the impression one would be forced to buy DLCs to actually do something with this game.
If you buy C:MO you get of course quite some turorials to learn the basics. Given the mass of the simulated systems and the different time frames of these systems it is impossible to teach you every detail in these turorials. When you start a scenario and are not familiar with the weapons used in it, you will have to learn what they do and don´t do. The database gives you everything you need, but you have to read it. If you start a scenario and are not familiar with the weapons, aircraft, ships and so on you might spent some time just to get an understanding of you forces before doing you first moves. This game requires patience.

Syrian Warfare
«What kind of Arab would I be if I didn’t have a RPG buried in my yard…?»
- Random guy in first mission after being asked to help defending the village
Wheew, what a ride. Definitely my personal surprise RTS of 2017 so far!
Syrian Warfare is a classic Real Time Strategy game brought to you by tiny Russian developer Cats Who Play. Since some members of the team also worked at GFI before, you could say the game is an unofficial sequel or spin-off to the 2008 RTS Warfare. Judging from videos or screenshots (and even the title font) the similarity is evident.

Syrian Warfare is a modern-day real-time tactics game with some excellent core gameplay, a surprisingly well-made campaign and complex, detailed mechanics that will be familiar to those who have played Men of War, another Russian-developed strategy game series, albiet with a significantly more user-friendly interface.

I had heard of the game last year but didn’t purchase it until now. I had recently been playing the Modern Combat mod for Company of Heroes which got me going back to playing some older modern day RTS/RTT games. I replayed a bit of World in Conflict (which was still as good as I remembered it.) but couldn’t quite maintain my interest in Act of Aggression. Given my experience with the latter I felt that I wouldn’t have much luck going back to the Wargame series since I had never been able to maintain interest in any of the series.

UNITED COMMAND ®
Nice game with command and conquer vibes. Surely needs some polishing but already in early access I had some fun with the coop-campaign. The assets for the troops and the buildings look very good,the maps should be a little more detailed. Also it would be great to be able to sell units - especially when the raffinery is destroyed and you need money to buy another one.

Para Bellum - Hold the Line
great fun little war game. easily worth the 10 bucks it costs.
edit:
the new updates, for example the GMG really kick ***!!
– Real player with 30.1 hrs in game
A cool little tactical war game with emphasis on realism. The developer is very active in discord and listens to feedback from the players. Already holds a good amount of content and I can see this growing to a gem during early access.

Zombie Commander
I am not happy with this purchase. It is suddenly way to difficult to win with the winter weather and vaccine cure both should be option to turn off. NO activity in discussion at all and no advice nothing. Ruins the experience. Suggestion…slow the vaccine bar down a little ruins the game.
This is my first thumbs down on a game.
I will adjust this review down the road if they change things

First Strike: Classic
I love the game, but it has some issues that bother me. I’d love to see them fixed in an update at some point.
-
Sometimes I start the game and there is some kind of bug that doesn’t allow me to click on anything and expand or build nukes/cruise missiles. I end up backing out of the game and starting a new one, then it just starts working and lets me click things.
-
I can have a single warhead headed towards my country, but when I send up a missile to take it out, the missile instead goes after missiles heading to/from allies or enemy countries. This means that sometimes I have to send up three or four warheads just to finally hit ONE warhead that is actually about to hit my country. A lot of times I can’t launch that many in time to stop it from hitting mine. This is frustrating. Surely this could be changed so that missiles only target incoming warheads for OUR country only and not outgoing from some other ally/enemy country that aren’t even headed for my country.

Minesweeper Versus
When I was first asked to play this game, I really wasn’t sure how Minesweeper 1v1 would ever work out.
Not gonna lie, I was pleasantly surprised. Great game design. Perfect fit for a few free minutes. If you like Minesweeper THIS is a must get :)

Always wanted to play Minesweeper against my friends. Now I can play it against randoms and also climb the ladder. Developer is a nice guy and is trying to improve minesweeper even though it is already a perfect game. Big brain IQ needed.
