Anyone interested of squad based combat such definetly check out soldiers of anarchy. Its a roadwarrior/twilight2000 style post-apocalyptic game. Combat is realtime *but* it works ok and feels a bit like jagged alliance. Thers plenty of cold war era stuff in it from submachine guns, kevlar vests to humvees, helicopters and t80's. Ok grafix and lots of nice animations like when people jump into the humvee they open the door and slam it closed. Gun sounds are good, shotgun sounds like shotgun instead of popgun like in UFO:A i.e. Soldiers can crouch, crawl and climb over fences. Houses and other stuff is destroyable.
Its mission based but each mission is a large area (you really need vechiles to drive around, walking is out of question) and it branches according to your decisions. Missions are very nice done, thers lots of stuff to explore in each, scavenge arms and recruit more soldiers. Lots of suprises and stuff.
Between mission you can tune up your battle team in your base, trade weapons (couple of dozen uzis for a rpg7 launcher and some ammo i.e), modify&repair your vechiles and aircraft (slap som extra armor and "grenademachinegun" or M60 into your humvee), equip your squadmates (binocs, molotovs, grenades, ammo, medpaks, drugs, combat vests, small&heavy arms, etc), treat your wounded in the field hospital, produce drugs and medicine, brief for next mission, examine details of all ingame weapons&vechiles and other items.
The development team for soldiers of anarchy (silver style entertainment*) is the same that is developing the fall: last days of gaia. The Fall uses the same engine (with lots of improvements of course).
