All
American: The 82nd Airborne in Normandy is the sequel to the
best selling, award winning 101: The Airborne Invasion of
Normandy. Like its predecessor 101, All American is a tactical
level turn-based wargame set during the end of World War II.
Focusing on the airborne assaults of the 82nd Airborne around
Normandy during the invasion of Fortress Europe, All American is
a detailed, highly realistic, yet eminently playable wargame.
Players
begin the game by choosing and equipping their stick (one plane
load of paratroopers) from amongst 48 soldiers. Each soldier is
a unique individual, with varied ratings and skills, for an
almost RPG feel. More importantly, each trooper underneath your
command will be looked at as an individual, not just another
faceless unit to push around the map. The loss of a soldier will
mean more than Paratrooper #6 was killed, it'll mean Charlie,
your best sharpshooter, won't be taking out any more Kraut
sentries across the map anymore.
Once on
the ground All American separates itself from all other
tactical level wargames available by becoming one of the most
realistic treatments of man to man combat ever gamed on a PC.
You'll face practically everything a real commander faced during
the drops. Your men will be scattered all over the countryside,
your heavy equipment could have landed smack dab in the middle
of a German encampment, and you have no idea where you are. No
magic radar, no Sgt. Rock antics, nothing but your wits and
skills to carry you to victory.
Combat in
All American is intense and brutal. All weapons are
historically modeled for true-to-life, and not just game,
effectiveness. Combine this with a damage system that is based
on real life wound studies and you have a unparalleled combat
system of the highest fidelity.
With a
wide range of varied objectives that make up numerous primary
and secondary missions available, the detailed combat system,
and the realistic way the game unfolds, All American is a
game that can be replayed over and over again. Over half a
century ago the real soldiers of the 82nd met their objectives.
With you in command will history repeat itself?
A
game of squad level combat in World War II.
