"We are really excited to have this new delivery method for our games," Patrick Proctor, founder and president of ProSIM remarked"We take a great deal of pride in these gamesEach is a meticulously detailed recreation of the historical battles they representI truly believe that they are the most realistic simulations of modern combat commercially availableWe think wargamers will agree."

IndeedEach title has earned high praise from fans and critics alikeAmongst some of the accolades earned by all three The Bovine Conspiracy awarded The Star and the Crescent a choice "9", PC Gamer rated The Falklands War: 1982 an excellent 82%, and Bill Macon of the Wargamer called Air Assault Task Force "...a great wargame."

But don't just take a reviewer's word for it! ProSIM titles are also in use around the world by professionals such as Lockheed Martin, Boeing aerospace, defense contractors and military organizations, and all with good reasonNo other commercial titles can match the realism of modern combat like a ProSIM titleThese are not simply games, but true simulations with all that being a simulation entails: high fidelity weapon, equipment, and terrain modeling all using real world data, realistic AI behavior, rewards for appropriate and accurate use of tactics, and the ability to teach through playOf course these are also highly entertaining games, playable against the computer or other live opponents, in a command-time real time setting

While each title shares enough similarities that familiarity with one allows a minimal learning curve for the others (additionally by owning the latest, Air Assault Task Force, it will upgrade previous titles to take advantage of all the new features found in that game), each title features its own flavor and has its own focusPicking the right one is simply a matter of deciding what you're looking to simulateOf course variety is also the spice of life so it wouldn't hurt to pick the entire ProSIM catalog up to satisfy those wargaming cravings that hit!

The Falklands War: 1982 examines the historical conflict between Great Britain and Argentina in 1982Featuring company to brigade sized units (with battalion level amphibious landings) this is primarily an infantry battle amongst windswept hills and flocks of sheepHypothetical situations are also examined, such as the effects armor would have had on the battleDynamic weather and the ability to modify troop quality before each scenario creates a high level of replayability

The Star and the Crescent recreates historical Arab-Israeli conflicts along with including possible future regional conflictsPerfect for the gamer who enjoys the clash of armor, The Star and the Crescent has mechanized forces, close air support, extensive radar modeling, individual buildings, and much moreSince it covers from the past to the future gamers will also appreciate the variety of equipment found in the game, especially since most of the regional powers tended to use a hodge-podge collection of weapon platforms
