Steel Division: Normandy 44

Wargame: AirLand Battle

Wargame: AirLand Battle is a real-time tactics game set amid the height of the Cold War. After several months of tension between NATO and the Warsaw Pact nations, an incident in the North Sea suddenly sets the world on fire, starting an all-out war.

The game allows the player to control Canadian forces as one of the playable factions. In the game, Canadian forces rely more on their robust infantry and anti-tank equipment than on their armoured divisions, which are generally made up of older equipment compared to their counterparts. More comfortable in a defensive rather than an offensive strategy, Canadian troops have a good infantry capability, thanks to their land and airborne transport, which is among the fastest in the game.
