No, this can't be! Initial outpost reports showed only armoured infantry, but some serious hardware is headed this way! How could two 70-ton German Königstiger battle tanks simply be overlooked?! Well, no time to lay blame, just aim the bazooka and bring up the tanks from the rear. Only a direct hit can destroy them. ... Codename: Panzers thrusts you into the high-powered battles of World War II. Whether played in towns with bullet-riddled buildings, bleak mountain landscapes, or treacherous swamps, Codename: Panzers offers real-time combat rampages with awesome 3D graphics. Create your combat force from over 100 finely detailed units, from a flame-throwing squad to a Soviet Stalin organ rocket launcher to a German Königstiger battle tank. Be the commander - demolish the enemy with clever tactical manoeuvres. Experience the nerve-jangling thrill of strategic gaming - in Codename: Panzers!

It could not have gone worse. After the devastating attack of the Reticulans in UFO: Aftermath, you only had fifty years of rest until they once again tried to eradicate the human race in UFO: Aftershock - and that time they succeeded. Only around ten thousand people survived this desperate war and only a few were allowed to remain on a station orbiting Earth. Most of the survivors were banished to Mars by the Reticulans. At first it was only a small base and many needed to stay in a cryogenic sleep since the base could not support many lives. So time passed.

We play Cuban Missile Crisis. If an American U2 had been shot down over Cuba during the 1962 Missile Crisis, and the Soviets had been a tad more assertive about their desire to keep nuclear missile bases in Cuba, then perhaps the world would have gone to war again, resulting in the greatest conflict in all history. Wouldn't that have been exciting and ******. Cuban Missile Crisis: The Aftermath answers that rhetorical question with a resounding no and yes. This is a strategy game in which you can play out some of the battles of history that never were, and later wish that you had never bothered. In that sense, this is a lot like real warfare. CMC: TA offers the options of being China, The Soviet Union, Germany/France or America/England. Each of these different factions plays out a different campaign. To be honest, it really doesn't matter who you pick as the gameplay is going to screw you no matter who you are. There are some differences in hardware and whatnot between factions though, so pick your poison and plunge into a series of mainly random battles, which you'll probably loose. In theory the year is 1962, however your units appear to be taking a page out of the modern day warfare book and seem to enjoy nothing better than hurling themselves to certain doom in front of enemy units with all the glee of a chicken with its head removed. On the other hand, the enemy is an awesome fighting force with the ability to actually smell your units from a mile away. The merest hint of a pinky finger and they're all over you, destroying your army and taking your position. There are no middle grounds in these battles, it's kill and conquer all the way. Unfortunately for you, unless you spend a lot of time in this game painstakingly moving forward yard by yard, you're going to be treated to the sight of your infantry and hardware taking a fiery pounding a lot. The enemy is also better at hiding than you, though you might occasionally take a position by randomly driving over a trench filled with enemy soldiers that you couldn't see anyway.

The back-and-forth fortunes of war from 1914 to 1918 created a large number of prisoners of war on both sides. While prisoners were generally treated much better than in World War II, surviving prisoners could tell many tales of privation and heroism. The British mass escape from Colditz Castle became a military legend, but numerous other soldiers remained in obscure and unglamorous captivity.

F.E.A.R. Extraction Point is an expansion pack for the horror themed first-person shooter computer and video game F.E.A.R., published by Vivendi Universal and developed by TimeGate Studios, rather than Monolith Productions, the developers of F.E.A.R.. It was released on October 24, 2006 for Windows and requires the full original game in order to be played. Also, a stand-alone single player demo has been previously released.

This expansion owes its name to the game's ultimate goal for the player, to reach the extraction point and leave the city where the adventure takes place. Extraction Point adds new weapons, enemies, and single-player levels, but no new multiplayer content. Additional improvements were also made to the enemy artificial intelligence. The sequel to F.E.A.R., F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin, ignores the events of both expansion packs

In ancient times, mysterious artifacts referred to as Remnants were discovered all over the world. People used these objects for their awesome powers — a choice that eventually began to cause a rift in the world’s balance. Equality was replaced by those who ruled and those who were ruled over. War was inevitable. A thousand years later is when this story begins…

Rush lives with his sister Irina on secluded Eulam Island, far from the power struggles for Remnants that are occurring back on the mainland. However, this peaceful life is shattered when his sister is suddenly kidnapped by a mysterious group of soldiers right before his eyes. He immediately sets off after them, unaware of the evils of the outside world but determined to find his sister at any cost.

Story-In a place soon to be known as The Valley of Death, in a small clearing called landing zone X-Ray, Lt. Colonel Hal Moore (Mel Gibson) and 400 young fathers, husbands, brothers, and sons, all troopers from an elite American combat division, were surrounded by 2,000 North Vietnamese soldiers. The ensuing battle was one of the most savage in U.S. history. We Were Soldiers Once...And Young is a tribute to the nobility of those men under fire, their common acts of uncommon valor, and their loyalty to and love for one another.

Ross Kemp and his BAFTA-winning documentary team experience life on the front line, providing an unprecedented insight into the heat of a war zone in this landmark five-part documentary.

Ross Kemp In Afghanistan Episode ONE
In the first episode, Ross prepares for deployment and joins up with 1 Royal Anglian as they train during a cold British winter on Salisbury Plain. They're training for what they will face in Afghanistan, which includes convoy protection and deploying from Chinook helicopters. During one exercise, Ross' group is attacked and Ross and several others are told that they have been 'killed' by the enemy.
It's a sobering thought.
Three months later Ross will be playing this scenario for real.

Ross comments on the making of these programmes; "Conditions in Afghanistan are intolerable. The heat is stifling and there's the constant threat of snipers, RPG attacks and land mines. During one engagement between B Company and the Taliban we were pinned down by enemy fire in open ground; bullets fizzed by inches from our heads, hitting the ground on either side of us. It was the most frightening experience of my life. I’ve never hugged the ground as tightly as I did when that happened. It's definitely the closest I have ever come to dying. I was so scared."
