This is a solid DLC addition to the base Graviteam Tactics. I particularly like this dlc because it explores an extremely overlooked conflict in Angola that many probably haven't even heard about outside of the region. In fact, the DLCs made by these guys covering this conflict are probably some of the only content about this war you'll be able to find in a video game. It's nigh impossible to find pretty much any game that covers conflicts in Africa of the 20th century so definitely props to these guys for bringing this to us.

The DLC itself is a nice change from what we're used to in the base game, that is to say, WW2 combat. I'm a sucker for WW2 games just like the next man, however, there are already so many games that cover it, it's nice to have something new that the market isn't so saturated with. Naturally, the tanks and equipment you'll have access to in this timeframe -1987 for this dlc- pack a much more decisive punch than their WW2 counterparts. Things can go from bad to worse rather quickly now - ambushes and initial attacks can often give a large advantage, or be decisive altogether. Be strategic, lest your men and machines end up in smoldering wrecks! So, if you like the base game, there's a good chance you'll like this too, particularly if you like more modern equipment and oft-overlooked conflicts.

Hopefully we get more dlcs like this in the future, that's to say post-WW2 content. If I had to complain about anything about this game, it would be their DLC policy. Aside from the Iran-Iraq DLC, and the Angola ones, every dlc has been Eastern front WW2. There are loads of 20th century conflicts that would make great dlcs - Korean War, India & Pakistan's numerous confrontations, Arab-Israeli conflicts, more African Wars..., etc. That's just my opinion, but if these guys ever decide to tackle one of these conflicts I will eagerly purchase it and spend many hours with it. As we know, they're certainly capable of it.
