MechCommander 2

Today i bought two games. The second one is a real-time tactics developed by FASA Interactive, and distributed by Microsoft in 2001.

I love these games, mixing strategy and tactics. The graphics are still ok, and, like so many pc games in that time, we also have full motion video with real actors.
