This is old news. But i think this flashgame need some words..
It’s a great flashgame, do you remeber X-Com or Ufo Enemy Unknown? Well this seems that old (amazing) classic game in a flash version!
I think this is worth at least a couple of minutes of your time, if you wanna check it here the link..
Good job Toge Games!
Sometime ago i had this idea, what about remaking the X-Com Ufo game using the Dawn of War 2 Engine ? It would be a great single player experience, plus a decent if not good multiplayer experience…
What do you think?

Tropico 3 from Kalypso Media Digital is available for 66% off until Monday!
The X-Com and Force Pack for me it’s like buying (generally considered) Abandonware, but hey it’s a free world! Both buyers and sellers are free to do as they want.. BTW The X-Com pack is really tempting..
This game is a pure classic like X-com, here is a nice java port..
I wonder if there is some of the viewer who played the original…
p.s if you need the music during gameplay use the video i have embedded down below..

Chain of Command is a real-time, multiplayer tactical wargame set in Normandy in World War 2, pitting American troops against German troops. The player commands four soldiers in various short actions, and will most likely find himself part of a larger group or team of other players, some of whom may be his commander, and some of whom may be (eventually) his subordinates. The player commands his own four men directly, responding to orders given to him by his commanders, and passing on orders to his subordinates. Players are themselves responsible for how they carry out other players’ orders (if they choose to carry them out at all), as they fight missions against enemy teams. Players are encouraged to preserve all their men and so may, when the risk is great, withdraw their men from the field, even against their commanders’ wishes. At the end of each action players receive points from their commanders, and these points go toward their next promotion.
Players are also encouraged to join Regiments and play with other members of their Regiments. Missions played for the Regiment go toward the Regiment’s relative standing. The Regiments provide focus for good team play over a long period.
Chain of Command is designed to be a realistic portrayal of small-unit infantry actions, and many of its systems are designed to take advantage of the multiplayer environment to simulate realistic flows in this type of action.

from the Author Site:
UFO: ALIEN INVASION is a squad-based tactical strategy game in the tradition of the old X-COM PC games, but with a twist. Our game combines military realism with hard science-fiction and the weirdness of an alien invasion. The carefully constructed turn-based system gives you pin-point control of your squad while maintaining a sense of pace and danger.
Over the long term you will need to conduct research into the alien threat to figure out their mysterious goals and use their powerful weapons for your own ends. You will produce unique items and use them in combat against your enemies. If you like, you can even use them against your friends with our multiplayer functionality.
‘UFO: Alien Invasion’. Endless hours of gameplay — absolutely free.
The game takes a lot of inspiration from the X-COM series by Mythos and Microprose. However, it’s neither a sequel nor a remake of any X-COM or other commercial title. What we as a team wanted to make is a brand new experience that tries to surpass the quality of games from 1992, rather than simply recreate them with flashier graphics.
