I'm not sure I ever paid much attention to this one before. <a target="_blank" href="http://www.blackbeangames.com/?act=games&game=tda">The Day After</a>, not to be confused
with the tv movie of the same name, takes place after a third world war
was ignited by the Cuban Missile Crisis. There's somekinda mix of real
time and turn based which sounds similar to <strong>Rome: Total
War</strong>'s travelling around and doing stuff in TB then engaging
the enemy and fighting in RT. The <a target="_blank" href="http://www.strategyinformer.com/intervi ... terview</a> at <a target="_blank" href="http://www.strategyinformer.com/">Strategy
Informer</a> further
explains:<blockquote><em><strong>SI: Only the tactical
part of the game is RTS. What does the player do between
battles?</strong>


Alexander Valencia-Campo: Yes, you are absolutely right. Only the one
part of the game is RTS. The other part is TBS which is closely tied
with the previous one. This combination brings a new level of realism
giving more freedom in actions. I guess it's clear with RTS and it's
time to raise the curtain over TBS component and how it is implemented
in the game. Between battles in RTS mode you go to TBS which
represents...

...So,
between battles, in TBS modes you move your forces
fighting with enemy's groupings, or capturing object, or engaging in
scenario missions, and only after you reached this or that target you
go directly to RTS mode to prove your strategic genius on the battle
field itself.</em></blockquote>He gives a long winded
example of how that works. Check the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.strategyinformer.com/intervi ... terview</a> for the rest along with
a couple dozen <a target="_blank" href="http://www.strategyinformer.com/screens ... enshots</a>. Looks good for 2D. Keep an eye
out for it
next month.

I could never work out if this was post-apocalyptic or not.

If it isn't, it's very close to it.
