SWINE - Certainly the best strategic / tactical game on the market.
In SWINE you will find two different campaign story lines, those of the aggressive pig and the humble rabbit, but do not let the rabbit fool you, they are as aggressive as the pig could be, I do not know the reason behind the idée of two animal races to represent human kinds inhospitable lust for war and destroying those, who do not share the same ideologies in life, maybe the developers was so inspired by a story of the Russian revolution called animal farm, what ever the reasoning maybe, SWINE is one of the most tactical strategy game I have ever came across.
The game strategy does not only lie in sneaking unseen through landscapes towards given objectives, but the true strategic thinking entails, enemy hardware "tanks etc..", your hardware, and by the way look after them as they must last you from stage 1 right through to the last, you may purchase after each completed battle a new piece, but be careful not spend that hard earned cash on equipment that you truly do not require to complete the next map.
Map sizes plays an important role in completing the mission successful as fuel plays an essential role, yes you have to fuel all your vehicles by fuel trailers and be warn there are a couple of gasoline gushers in the arsenal, if this is not enough the developer also limited ammo per give piece of hardware, those days of spray and prey is over select attacking hardware very carefully as to save as much ammunition as possible, ammo can be purchased in the form of an ammo trailer to top-up those who requires ammo, vehicles will also require repairs and this can be obtained by reparation trailers. All trailers can be bought at the start up of each and every map or by purchasing them form the in-game purchase function, be warned that you will be required to have cash in hand to complete a purchase. If you should decide to purchase a trailer be sure to obtain a tow truck as well, as towing trucks are the only vehicle capable of physically towing trailers.
Hardware "vehicles" can be upgraded on purchase or after each and every map, this is if you have cash in hand, study the opponents equipment as they are provided upfront and from there decide what type of equipment upgrades are to be equipped per vehicle.
The graphics are excellent.
This game is highly recommended to those seeking an extra challenge for their strategic skills but be warned it is not easy, but the best of all it is free, to obtain a copy visit www.gamershell.com.
