AK vs DR is yet another title which ended up falling into obscurity due to the mid-00s market oversaturation with WW2 tactics games (i.e. featuring no unit construction). Which is a pity, since it had a few interesting ideas (vehicles can be crewed and different soldier types add different bonuses, some vehicles can be captured by making the crew run away, secondary objectives can offer special units as prizes etc.) I still have the CD version (free game bundled with a PC games mag back in the late 00s), and I've installed it on an old Windows XP laptop. I'd really like a digital re-release, since my new computer lacks an optical drive.
