64Subscribe and become a Minion of evil today! Join me, the Flaming Monocle as I play every game in my Steam list (with 2,159 games at the time of writing) from A/Z!
IN THIS GAME: WAR IS HELL. But it is good to remember the events that led up to this day so we may learn from our past mistakes. Here we see a game that is set (And the only game I'm aware of that does use this topic) during the Soviet-Afghan war, which lasted 9 years between 1979 and 1989 and formed part of the events of the Coold War.
One similarity stands out, which is this game does feel like it takes 9 years to play through the tutorial... ಠ_ರೃ

ABOUT 9th Company - Roots of Terror:
Developer: Noviy Disk , Lesta Studios Inc
Publisher: Strategy First
Release Date: 3rd December, 2009
"9th Company Roots of Terror is an action-oriented real-time strategy game based on actual events that took place during the Soviet military campaign in Afghanistan.
9th Company follows the story of a ragged band of young recruits undergoing brutal training in Uzbekistan’s Fergana Valley and culminates with a bloody stand against the Mujahideen warriors on a nameless mountain top in Afghanistan. It’s the Battle of Thermopylae all over again: one Russian fighter against 10 Afghanis!
9th Company recreates in detail the events that took place during the last large-scale Soviet military operation.
Few know the history: the 9th Company of the 345th Guards Airborne Regiment came under heavy fire on “Hill 3234” on January 7th, 1988. They managed to stop several attacks by an estimated 400 Mujahideen and Pakistani mercenaries and held their position for two gory days.
The company lost 6 men, and the remaining 28 of the total 39 were wounded. Two 9th Company soldiers were posthumously awarded the Golden Star medal and the title of Soviet Hero. "
