Control large armies and handle the unit of your choice at any time! The great quality of this game is that you can handle units from above as in all strategy games, or you can handle the unit of your choice at any point in battle, entering combat from below. You can handle soldiers, jeeps, tanks, anti-aircraft, watchtowers, planes, and helicopters. Great variety of missions: 1. Great battles in which you will have to think of the best strategy to envelop the enemy, as if you were a great general. 2. Small skirmishes in which it is convenient to handle some unit by yourself, with some practice you can handle any unit better than the machine. 3. Battles for control of factories, each side has factories that make tanks and other units, you will have to defend your factories, accumulate units and go on the offensive. 4. Nuclear battles, resist until you have a tactical nuclear bomb available, then drop it on the bulk of the enemy army, and then finish with the rest of the units. Great variety of scenarios, deserts, city, green field, snow. Complete mission editor where you can design your own battles, selecting scenario, side, units for each side, factories, and ... atomic bombs! All this makes Desert War a spectacular game that you cannot miss!
