Oh wise Codex, I ask for thine advice.

It's a pack with three scifi wargames and a tactical squad-based game. I'd never heard of them, much less played them, but right now they're tickling my gaming senses. Are they any good?

Ofc lemme add rahr gog ripoff games for free blargh to preemptively cover that angle

Incubation is a cool turn based squat tactical game like, from memory the missions follow a storyline and there is no strategic layer, although I think you gain experience and choose equipment for you soldiers between missions.

Battle Isle games are pretty similar to Advance Wars for DS if you have played that, although there is more unit variety and detail.

Only get it if you wish to witness some of the best games that turn-based gaming has to offer.

I c wot u did thar

What's tempting is that even if the wargames bore me, I can always fall back on the turn-based squad game. Fuck it I'm buyin

Historyline, was one of the best strategy/wargame that I've ever played.
I purchase it without hesitation on Day 1.

Played Incubation way back. Its not Jagged Alliance
but its pretty decent. Heard the wargame were pretty good.

I'd say go for it. At least the gog version should work on newer PCs, I remember having issues getting Incubation to play nice on my Voodoo/PII/Win98 machine.

Incubation was a bit more of a puzzle/tactics hybrid IRC.. that isnt to say it wasnt good
