Obviously we’re going to focus on our Wargame HQ, but there’s a lot of other gaming at Origins, whether it’s other wargaming groups, sponsored play areas, the open gaming hall with the CABS library, the RPG sessions, or the giant Crokinole area that keeps expanding, there’s plenty of gameplay to go around

Warfighter had a “spin off” called Private Military Contractor, PMC. It is exactly what you have described.

There are also all the DVG Leader type games.

Intel Dump / Question on a game type
« Last post by JudgeDredd on July 05, 2024, 05:42:36 AM »I asked here about some games and people asked me what I was looking for and I wasn't really sure.
Well - I've thought about it.
Does anyone remember Strike Commander for the PC way back in 1993/94? You were a pilot running a mercenary group. You had an F-16 and had some other pilots. You were presented with missions which you choose from and would get money based on the outcome of those missions...things like protecting a flight or destroying a supply depot. Then you'd use that money to buy weapons, new pilots and aircraft.
So - that's what I'm looking for. Basically a game where you play a mercenary and you earn money doing missions and you can use that money for the betterment of yourself and/or your organisation.
Things like Skyrim and Fallout have the RPG element and missions, though I think they're a bit more scripted. But I'm specifically looking for something where I can choose from a selection of missions which one to take. Additionally, earning coinage for upgrades and the like.
Anything out there like that?
I'm thinking I may have just explained DVG's Warfighter!
Which I wasn't over keen on for some reason.

In addition to the fast gameplay, there were a couple more things I really appreciated in A Dutiful Fight: the effects of terrain and morale on the game. I think they suited the subject matter well. It was easy to imagine troops slogging through a difficult, unfamiliar landscape while Indigenous warriors and local militia travel lightly and quickly through their home terrain. It was also easy to imagine that US morale wasn’t particularly high, based on the conditions and harassing attacks from the enemy.
