Squint your eyes and imagine a relentless sun searing a hostile desert valley floor. Sniff the oily smoke and burning smell of ysterday's fierce combat drifting darkly through thin parched air...
Desert Commander is a unique war simulation game, for one or two players, that creates realistic battlefield situations where your greatest weapons are intelligence and courage.
Military hardware, troop strength and deployment options are completely variable at any of five levels of battle complexity and conditions. Yet with your forces evenly matched against those of your enemy, all planning, calculations and actions must be carefully considered to dominate today's contest.
Your strategies should be brilliant; your tactics, flawless. Victory can be won only when you outwit your opponent -- then conquer his armies or capture his headquarters.
"...Sir, a report just in. Aircraft are aloft, guns ready, bombs armed. Artillery units stand tall, locked-on targets. Troops are dug into position."
The enemy has been sighted. Your challenge has been accepted. The future of the free world now awaits your brave and steady command.
Somewhere in a nameless desert, two opposing nameless armies take to the battlefield to destroy the other. Through the strategy of their commanders and the diversity of their units, each side seeks to gain the advantage over the other. There are 5 campaigns total and can be played either VS the computer or a second player.
The game is is a top-view turn-based strategy games with animated battle sequences between units. Each unit can move a certain value across the battlefield on different types of terrain and must keep track of it's ammunition and fuel consumption. Towns are scattered around the map for resupply and other special icons (Position, Oasis, Airfield) confer other special advantages. Players may choose any combination of choices of 2 types of air units and 2 styles of cannon, 4 types of land vehicles and an infantry unit to customize their specific strategy. The side that loses their Headquarters unit first loses.
