Requesting help to find a name of a game

[Illanair]

Heya folks.

I've been looking for an old game, cirka 2000-04. I don't remember very much from it other than the theme was a war - possibly second world war or present. The gameplay was similar to Fallout 1/2 in that combat was tilebased and turnbased - The player had to make a main character and give him/her a class and then recruit a team of able folk.

First mission I think was the main character sneaking up on some soldiers in a thicket or forest area. The second one may have been an infiltration mission - something with a factory.

I hope someone remembers this game - I really want to see what it was all about.

Thanks in advance
Illanair

I'd love to help look for it, but could you tell us the platform? I assumed it was PC, but still...

Edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panzer_General_III:_Scorched_Earth?

Ah - Guess I left that out. It is a PC game.

Panzer General is a good guess, but the game I'm thinking off wasn't about strategic control. It was more commandos styled. You controlled your unit of men like in Baldurs Gate, Syndicate and Commandos.

PS: I'm not entirely sure about it being tilebased. It may only look as though in combat (Like Fallout)

This link might help, if you go down half way you can sort through games by chronology

Could it be Commandos?

They do look very similar but I think it was more graphically advanced, but commandos didn't feature turnbased combat as far as I can recall - perhaps an offspawn of the genre?

Give this man...err...gnome? A cookie! It was indeed Silent Storm

I remember this scene from the start of the game.

that game rocked, right up until you encounter the panzerkleins, then you absolutely have to use them and laser weapons (wait what ?)

Oh and, that's not a gnome, that's a dwarf

Yeah - Didn't even know the game had robot suits. I only got to play it once back in the day. I used to work in a small PC repairshop. A customer had sent in a machine that crashed constantly with the game. My task? To play it endlessly till it crashed - did it ever? Nope, but boy was that a fun experience ^^
