COMMAND & CONQUER: ZERO HOUR!
Behold, the awesome power of the AC-130 Spectre Gunship as it lays waste to the ChiCom base! Bwaw-haw-haw-haw-haw!
I've been playing this sucker for 2 years now, and still haven't gotten tired of it.

An American military adviser group is observing a computer simulation that is part of Taiwan's annual "Han Kuang 21" military exercise, a legislator of the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) said Tuesday. The remarks by DPP Legislator Lee Wen-chung, a member of the defense committee in the Legislative Yuan and an expert in Taiwan military affairs, came after Japan's NHK TV channel reported that Dennis Blair, former head of the U.S. Pacific Command, is leading a delegation of around 20 military officers that is observing the computerized wargames that started Monday. NHK commented that this was the first time that the U.S. Defense Department has openly said it has sent military personnel to Taiwan, which the TV channel claimed "strongly indicates" that it wants to counterbalance China. Lee said that this is not the first time that the U.S. Pacific Command has sent a military adviser group to monitor the computerized wargames. But with the continued expansion of China's military might, he claimed, military cooperation between Taiwan and the United States will become even closer. He noted that in the past, the U.S. adviser group would only observe some of the wargames, but this year they will observe throughout the five-day period of the games. The five-day computerized war simulations are armed at honing various combat strategies and tactics, including anti-blockade strategies, airborne defense control, naval forces' air defense and maritime control tactics, as well as cyber-defense operations. Live-fire drills -- another part of the "Han Kuang 21" annual series of drills devoted to testing the armed forces' combat prowess -- are scheduled for June through August to verify combat strategies and tactics hammered out during the computerized wargames. These maneuvers will include strategies to cope with blitz attacks on a major local oil depot and undersea cables. The live-fire exercises will also practice counter-strategies against warfare methods such as carpet bombing, infiltrations, abductions, hijackings, computer virus attacks and decapitation strikes.
"Shall we play again?"

You stopped playing "pong" I see. Cool. Rock on!
Gotta' love the AC-130. We'll need quite a few extra if the ChiComs get out of hand. If there are ChiComs in this game you play, it must be a target rich environment to say the least.
all your base are belong to us
Ohhh yeah. You can play as the ChiComs, the ragheads, or of course, the good ol' U.S. of A.
Personally, I prefer playing as America. The units and structures are more expensive and use more power, but damn! You get space-based particle weaponry, MOAB's, hypersonic bombers, F-22 Raptors, snipers, Paldin artillery with point-defense lasers, Tomahawk cruise missiles, and of course, Col. Burton - a cigar-chomping super-soldier with a Ma Deuce and demolition charges.
Pounds the living hell out of the Rags with their suicide bombers and anthrax bombs, and the ChiComs with their hackers and radioactives.
A Taiwanese mobster with $5 million could go to Vegas during DefCon, hire 10 hot-shot hackers, off the books, for a month in Taipei, and have a 5 year techie advantage on hacking 60% of Red China's PLA installations.
Capture *this* flag, baby!
A friend and I made some custom skins for IL2 Forgotten Battles (W/ Aces Expansion Pack as well as Pacific Fighters expansions) and played the early Taiwan-China battles. Naturally the ChiComs got 0wn3d.
LOL! I saw something on History Chennel International about the last days of the Chinese Nationalists. When the Coms were breathing down their necks, the Nationalists were dragging communists out into the streets, and straight up shooting them in the back of the head. And they had the footage!
THAT's how you deal with communists - no mercy, no quarter, no negotiations - just ventilate their cerebral cortexes with a few grams of hollow-point.
It was inspirational to see mass-murdering, blood-drinking communists getting the treatment they deserve.
But what is this game of which you speak? I'm a real time strategy enthusiast, myself.
Screen pics posting. Cool. Nice laser weapons.
I trust the ChiComs will get thrashed and pummeled by the Fierce Draka!
IL2 Forgotten Battles is a WWII flight simulation, but it also inclues early korean-war era fighters like the P-80 and so on in the expansions (Aces Expansion Pack and Pacific Fighters).
