Our Next Game is Announced\!       Battle for survival and supremacy in a gritty post\-apocalyptic world of vehicular combat where strategy and tactics determines who wins\. Darkwind is a simultaneous turn\-based, physics\-based game\. It is often described as "X\-Com meets Mad Max" or "Car Wars \[1980s boardgame\] Online"\.  Darkwind is the only car game we know of that combines accurate physics with turn\-based play\. Not just turn based racing and Death\-racing \(with multiple cars\), but also combats with up to 20 vehicles is where you realise why turn based is a must in this game\. Running 10 trucks at once through a slaver ambush in Badlands, managing speed, steering, gun fire from anywhere up to 8 points on a truck would not be possible in real time\.      Manage your gang, train your characters, design your own cars and scavenge for parts\. Make your fortune in racing, deathracing and arena combat leagues, or venture into the wilderness and engage in tense multiplayer battles with pirates, traders and other players\.      Trade for parts, cars and weapons in the dynamic economy of a world where your characters will age, sustain permanent injuries, and die\. The detailed weapon stats, and the detailed combat system with physics, critical hits, injuries and healing, psychology, leadership and perma\-death ensures a strategic challenge like few other games\.  Award winning in the indie gaming community, acclaimed in the main\-stream computer gaming press and praised in the war\-gaming media: play it yourself to find out why\.
