Last night I watched Che Part 1, great film about an interesting topic. Most of the film is about Che and Castro's revolution in Cuba and how it went from being a group of people meeting up at a dinner party, through jungle warfare, gaining recruits, dealing with treachery and disorder in the ranks, to a paramilitary organisation taking down the cities.
All I could think about through the film was how great it would be if there was a game detailing an experience like this. I'd envisage it as some kind of grand strategy/X-Com type game with a big map and lots of micromanagement, going into an urban-battle mode in between planning out rallies and meetings and moving your troops. Over time you could work up from recruiting in lower class areas and conducting small scale jungle warfare to moving to more technlogically advanced urban areas with joint arms warfare using tanks and planes you had amassed and stuff. Your revolution having its own ideology and starting point would be cool as well as randomly generated countries with different demographics and economics affecting the revolution, as well as the type of government you were rebelling against.
So are there any games out there like this...and if not, then why not?
