Red sky at morning

Red Sky at Morning is a 1993 DOS strategy game that places players in a military setting where planning and decision-making are more important than quick reflexes. The game challenges players to consider positions, resources, and objectives while attempting to overcome opposing forces. Its title evokes the old sailor's warning about dangerous weather, fitting the tense atmosphere of a game where conditions can change the situation quickly. The experience rewards players who think ahead rather than rushing into combat. Red Sky at Morning represents the experimental variety of DOS strategy games, many of which were willing to tackle unusual subjects and mechanics. It may not provide the instant gratification of an arcade title, but that is part of its appeal. Victory feels better when you had to actually think for it.
