Flashpoint vs JTS/WDS modern campaigns

The new Cold War turned hot wargame from On Target Simulations, now expanded with the Player's Edition! Choose the NATO or Soviet forces in one of many scenarios or two linked campaigns. No effort was spared to model modern warfare realistically, including armor, infantry, helicopters, air support, artillery, electronic warfare, chemical and nuclear weapons. An innovative new asynchronous turn order means that OODA loops and various effects on C3 are accurately modeled as never before.

Flashpoint vs JTS/WDS modern campaigns

Post by gamerdoc »

I get that Flashpoint’s scale is smaller but pros and cons against WDS series? Which one do people prefer?

There is no comparison. You can't compare Apples to Strawberries.

Flashpoint is a WEGO system and JTS/WDS is a IGUGO system.

Both have a different scope and purpose.

Having played both, Flashpoint is absolutely superior in gameplay, presentation, and UI.

As a bonus, the new game crushes the old game in every aspect. A biased viewpoint, of course. :D
OTS is looking forward to Southern Storm getting released!
