Strategic Mind: Spirit of Liberty NA PS5 CD Key

Strategic Mind: Spirit of Liberty is the fifth installment in the Strategic Mind line of games, featuring Finland in its 3 wars during WW2. It has two campaigns: historical and alternate history one. A story from the legends, but in real historyWinter War: over 500, 000 Soviet soldiers attack Finland, a country with a population of 3, 700, 000, and the Finns drive them back, inflicting 5 times their own casualties. Continuation War: the Reds return with a total strength of 1, 500, 000 - almost half of the entire Finnish population - and the Finns stop them again. Finland’s survival in these two brutal wars against an enemy so vast was a true historical miracle. A miracle of heroism and valor. A miracle of the Finnish spirit of liberty. Experience heroic struggle and make tough choicesYou are the commander of the scarce Finnish troops. Your only goal - to save your homeland and your people from total annihilation. Would you risk losing your experienced troops to try and capture the enemy tanks? Would you try to save the stragglers during the retreat and risk losing everyone, or cut your losses and establish a new line of defense? Would you agree to negotiate with the Soviets that had treacherously attacked you twice before? Features Play two campaigns: historical and “what if” Historical campaignPlay through a number of missions throughout the 1939-1945 timeline, spanning three wars: Winter War, Continuation War, and Lapland War. The historical campaign will have smaller-scale but action-packed operations, covering all of the iconic historical battles. Alternate history campaignPlay a shorter campaign with larger operations, centered around the “what if” events. Help the Germans take Leningrad, cut off the allied aid shipments to USSR by taking the port of Murmansk - that is only the beginning. Immerse yourself into the (hi)story-driven gameplay Primary and secondary objectivesComplete numerous objectives grounded in history and narrated by a number of historical characters. Cinematics before and after each operationWatch history unfold through the eyes of the key historical figures of the time - over 60 minutes of in-game cinematics with characters such as Baron Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim, Risto Heikki Ryti, and others. Create and grow the army of your own design Variety is the spice of warThe Finns had only 12 Vickers British tanks in 1939 against up to 6000 Soviet tanks. Even the odds by getting units from various other countries, and shape your rag-tag forces into a well-oiled war machine. Trophies for everyone!Where Finnish production is struggling to catch up, make up for it by taking advanced equipment from the enemy. Turn the Soviet guns against their creators. Faithfully recreated historical unitsCommand the Finnish ski troops and captured Soviet vehicles, including BT-7, T-34, and KV tanks. Purchase German Pz-IV tanks, StuG assault guns, and Ju-88 bombers. Make use of pre-war British Bristol Blenheim bombers, covered by Dutch Fokker and US Buffalo fighter planes. Upgrade your units to newer modelsMake sure your forces are always up to date and up to the task. New models become available at historically accurate points in time. Train your troops and choose equipment Gain combat experienceChoose various skills for your men as they gain combat experience. Combine units from different classesCompose your own force from ten classes available: Infantry, Artillery, Tanks, Reconnaissance units, Assault guns, Armored trains, Anti-tank guns, Anti-aircraft guns, Fighters, and Tactical bombers. Utilize their unique skills and equipment to maximum effect. Acquire diverse equipmentEquip units with various special equipment, such as Machine guns, Mortars, Smoke grenades, Anti-tank rifles and Molotov cocktails, Winter equipment, and many more. Use transport vehiclesIn the harsh Finnish winter, speed may be the difference between life and death. Provide your units with vehicles to improve their mobility, or have your Infantry use skis to outmaneuver the enemy in winter operations. Assign historical heroes to your units Unique heroes systemEvery unit in your army could meet certain high requirements to generate a historical personality - a hero with a unique set of powerful skills. The deadliest sniper in WW2 history - Simo Häyhä - will join your troopsWith 542 confirmed kills, and an unconfirmed total number of 705, not only was Simo Häyhä the deadliest sniper of World War II, but perhaps the deadliest sniper of all time. His nickname “the White Death” was well-earned. Manage your Headquarters between the operations Learn Headquarters skillsChoose in which direction your HQ staff will improve as the campaign progresses. Your decisions will result in new passive and active abilities for various units: your artillery could fire twice per turn, or you could call in the air reconnaissance to get better intel on the enemy positions. Get promotions and awardsEvery operation is an opportunity to get new ranks and awards, increasing your Command points, which are used to activate your Headquarters skills and deploy more units. Confer with your staffConsult other high-ranking officers for their opinion on the upcoming battle, and get useful advice. Use elaborate combat mechanics to overcome any foe Manage Lethal vs Nonlethal damageThere are two types of damage: lethal and nonlethal. Dealing nonlethal damage to your enemies will make them surrender. Different units are prone to deal either lethal or nonlethal. Use terrain differences to your advantageTanks are vulnerable in difficult terrain and cities, while Infantry can occupy buildings or hide in the forests to gain large defensive bonuses. All units suffer large penalties in swamps or while crossing a river, etc. Be aware of your surroundings, and use them to your advantage. Take the “line of sight” and the “zone of control” into considerationSome terrain and buildings obstruct firing unless you are using artillery or mortars. Approaching an enemy unit up close will finish your movement, unless you are using a Recon unit. Activate various skills and equipmentUse incendiary or subcaliber shells to maximize your damage to the enemy. Order forced march in the most desperate situations. Employ aerobatics to increase your air force efficiency. Use your HQ skills to affect the entire battlefield. Use a complex spotting system that represents the importance of reconnaissanceCall upon the air and ground reconnaissance to gather intel about the enemy before ordering your troops forward. No one likes to be ambushed. Adapt to various battlefield conditionsThere is a day-night cycle in the game as well as weather types such as frost or rain. All of these conditions impose penalties that must be countered with special equipment and skills. The finest of your troops may even use such conditions to their advantage. Use the cover of the night to sneak up on the enemy, or strike when the foe is freezing and immobilized. Utilize the most advanced supply and infrastructure system in the genre Ammunition and fuelAll units have limited ammo and fuel. Without ammo, your units cannot fight, and without fuel, your vehicles cannot move - and any aircraft will simply crash. Supply hubsGenerate supplies and transfer them to your troops throughout an entire system, like a heart pumping blood through veins. Supply points Connect different infrastructure facilities and redistribute supplies. Supply points also allow your troops to change special equipment and renew its charges. Airfield Allows aircraft units to land for refueling, repairs, and refit of equipment. Damage to the airfield would also damage all landed aircraft. SeaportAllows resupply and change of equipment for naval units. It also generates supplies, if there is a maritime hub nearby and the Seaport is not under enemy blockade. Damage the infrastructureAll infrastructure facilities can be disabled if their HP drops to 50% or lower. It will then gradually regain its HP and its functionality. Strike at the enemy facilities to prevent them from resupplying. Cut off the enemy supply linesAll infrastructure facilities are considered connected if a simple truck vehicle could move between them in one go. If you put your unit between the enemy facilities, it would create a zone of control, and prevent the enemy from transferring supplies. Leave the enemy units without much needed ammunition and fuel, then hunt them down. Make sure your own units are suppliedThere is a limit to how far your supply vehicles can deliver supplies - make sure you take that into account when planning your next offensive.
