G.I. Combat - Episode 1, Battle of Normandy

G.I. Combat: Episode I, Battle of Normandy is a real-time strategy game featuring 3D environments constructed from terrain maps of Normandy. Psychology figures prominently, as it does in real warfare, and all eight different psychological states affect strategy and tactics. Scenarios are based the actual combat conditions in June 1944 Normandy. A realistic physics engine simulates projectile speed and armor penetration. Weapons include the MP-40 and the Thompson, and tanks such as the Jumbo Sherman, the Mark V Panther, and the powerful German 88 are also featured. Players lead either American or German troops, with 60 different squad types. The assorted missions include infiltrating an enemy outpost, jumping into enemy trenches with a single G.I., and Patton's Operation Cobra breakout campaign. Dozens of historical and hypothetical scenarios allow players to explore military history and either emulate or rewrite it.
