Toy soldiers: Cold war

You need this game

Quite frankly, I am psyched! I loved the first game, and the Cold war is my gaming equivalent of the Giant Panda. :)

they seem to have skipped that part of the history books where the whole reason it was called the Cold War was because there was no "war" in the traditional sense. there were no troops firing at eachother or helicopters dropping troops in behind enemy lines. looks cool but the title makes them sound stupid.

Loosen up a bit, it's not meant to be taken seriously. :)

guess what?
Spoiler! :
the Cold War did actually have wars but they were generally between "proxy" armies that were sponsored by either side. this can be applied to the Soviets V the American sponsored Taliban. guerrillas sponsored by one side V governments sponsored by another in Africa and South America and lets not forget the sponsoring of Dictators in the middle east to keep the Soviets out.

it was also a "War" of economics as both sides tried to cut off supply lines and send in covert troops to sabotage the other as well as trying to become richer themselves.

It looks pretty awesome.

Pity I don't have an Xbox.

He's ancient and forever.
He burns at the centre of time and he can see the turn of the universe.
And... he's wonderful."
