August 1991
The coup in Moscow succeeds. The Soviet Union doesn't collapse: hardliners take power, the Warsaw Pact is held together by force, and a border crisis in Germany turns hot.
Ninety-One is a fast real-time strategy game about the war that follows. Build a base, run your supply lines, and send late-Cold-War armies into the fight they were built for.
Two sides
Atlantic Compact
US, British and West German armour. Better optics, thicker armour, precision and air power, but every tank is expensive.
Red Directorate
The hardline Soviet bloc. Cheap tanks, heavy artillery and gun-launched missiles, in numbers the other side can't match.
What's in the alpha
- Skirmish for up to eight players on real-world maps of Germany, with AI opponents and teams.
- Multiplayer over your local network.
- Towns that pay whoever holds them: take a village and it funds your war.
- Tanks, infantry, helicopters and jets, from the Challenger 2 to the T-80.
- Watch the AIs fight it out, and replays of every game you play.
