Chess-like strategy, a puzzle of war.

Massive Assault and Massive Assault: Phantom Renaissance, two games of turn-based tactics and deception from the creators of World of Tanks, available now on Windows, DRM-free on GOG.com with a 50% launch discount!

Massive Assault is, first and foremost, pure strategy. While it may look like your regular RTS, the Massive Assault series is a game of precise turn-based tactics across hexified battlefields. Your success will not depend on your reaction time or clicks per minute, you will never go into battle uncertain of its outcome. Everything is consistent and laid out on the table from the start - it's your job to make the most of these few rules to deceive and outmaneuver your opponents. The series has been described as a chess-like strategy, a puzzle of war.

Massive Assault: Phantom Renaissance (aka: Domination) is an all-around improvement on the first game and a continuation of the story - it includes an expanded single-player campaign with greater tactical options, more units with better AI, and a much more graphically spectacular war to behold.

Outsmart and deceive your enemies in Massive Assault and Massive Assault: Phantom Renaissance, now on GOG.com! The 50% launch discount for both titles will last for one week, until Tuesday, February 10 at 10:59 AM GMT.

IronArcturus: What is the difference between Massive Assault and Massive Assault: Phantom Renaissance?

Vythonaut: I had the same question! It's just the original game & it's standalone sequel!
But is the sequel any different to the first game? Or are they really similar?

Lord_Kane: As far as I remember Wargaming has always owned massive assault.

Niggles: wish Slitherine was onboard GOG :/
Yeah, me too especially since they own Ageod and Matrix games now too. They would probably be the biggest publisher to get to gog if they ever come here.

Can't help you in this, I'll just point you at the OP: "[..] an all-around improvement on the first game and a continuation of the story - it includes an expanded single-player campaign with greater tactical options, more units with better AI, and a much more graphically spectacular war to behold."

Phantom Renaissance adds a handful of unique units to the two sides. The FNU gets sneaky tactic units (submarines and mobile platforms), the Phantom League gets huge units that can make two attacks per round (a super battleship and a super mech).

If you're just getting one, get PR.
They look nice. Bought x2. Thanks GOG!
Cool. Some real games from Wargaming before they went all "online-multiplayer-only gaming, ho!" =P

I remember MA being a very demanding game hardware-wise when it first came out. I really enjoyed what I played years back in a Mac port I had, but unfortunately the port was all buggered with issues. I'm definitely looking forward to getting reacquainted. :)

timppu: Turn-based strategy games... god damn it. I never know beforehand if I will find them a pleasant or an infuriating experience, usually regarding their difficulty level.
You could always give the demo a try to see whether it's to your liking. ;)
Never played these, but I like what I see :-)

Not much I'm afraid, it's been 10 years since I played it, but as I said, really enjoyed it. Didn't have any problems to run it even on my old crappy rig. :D
