Detailed, Well-Researched Game of the American Revolution

Birth of America is a big, sprawling wargame of the American Revolution and the French and Indian Wars, with a map covering the whole eastern portion of the North American continent (including Quebec, and up to the Mississippi). Though strategic in its approach, you play at an operational level, ordering individual regiments on a detailed map of the area. Although it's turn-based, enemy units move and fight at the same time as yours, so unlike many turn-based games, there's a real sense of the fluidity of combat. (Or to put it another way, it's not an "I go, you go" game--rather, both you and the AI plan your moves, and then you watch as the results of those plans play out.)

Who Says Turn-Based Strategy is Dead?

1. Did you love old-school turn-based combat games like The Perfect General and Panzer Generals, and prefer games that reward careful planning and actuall strategy games over RTSes, which tend to reward fast action and mastery of interface instead?

Or:

2. Do you love real-time strategy, but chafe at the unreality of resource gathering and tech trees, which surely have nothing to do with the actual problems faced by military commanders? Would you prefer something where combined-arms tactics, use of terrain, and other concerns of actual military strategy dominate?

In either case, welcome to Massive Assault.

Gates of Troy is the sequel to the award winning Spartan. Gates of Troy is an epic turn based strategy game that covers the Trojan Wars, and lets the player take control of mighty heroes such as Achilles and Hector and allows you to assault the Gates of Troy and build the Trojan horse.
