Act of War:Direct Action. Basically Tom Clancy meets C&C Generals with more conspiracy slop. Had some neat mechanics, like your mercenaries have to fight over banks with the general urban combat rules, and PoWs somehow generating money (but money is also directly gained by refining oil). It got an expansion and a remake before Eugen went with the more tactical wargame series of game

Looks like a great rts! Is it good or just nostalgia?

It was, overall, a better game than Generals, but I'd play Act of Aggression for a more modern version of the same experience. Full of conspiracy brainworms
