Act of War Direct Action is a real-time strategy game developed by Eugen Systems and published by Atari, Inc. In the near future, America is in crisis... In the midst of a worldwide energy crisis that has pushed gasoline prices to over $7 per gallon, worldwide economy is in a tailspin. Terrorists have taken advantage of this instability to inflict heavy losses. The US Army, with the task of ensuring homeland security, has created a new direct action operations group known as Task Force TALON. Armed with the latest technology and tactics, and lead by the controversial Brigadier General Jason Richter, TFT will perform whatever missions necessary to restore order. In their way are the terrorists, elaborately financed and backed by a group only known as the Consortium. Who is the Consortium, and why are they doing what they are doing? And most importantly, can Task Force TALON stop them?
