Alfa: Antiterror (2005)

Alfa: Antiterror is a 2005 turn-based/real-time hybrid strategy game, developed by MiST Land South, (who later became GFI Russia, most notable for developing Hired Guns: The Jagged Edge, which was originally supposed to be Jagged Alliance 3D, the German box art for Alfa even boasts how it's from the developers of Jagged Alliance 3D), with some members of that team eventually forming CatsWhoPlay.

The player mainly assumes the role of a Russian counter-terror unit Alpha Group but multiplayer/single missions allow the player to play as several other military groups, such as GSG-9.

The game's units can be chosen to take an "Assaulter", "Sniper" or "Grenadier" specialization when starting a mission, essentially selecting a set of weapons (only Snipers can take sniper rifles, Assaulters have a large selection of general weaponry and only Grenadiers get grenade launchers/the more expensive anti-tank launchers, though Assaulters can take disposable anti-tank launchers).

Submachine guns/carbines are generally available as both primary weapons for Assaulters and Grenadiers and secondary weapons for Snipers, as a primary weapon they can have more ammo taken, are used with stocks added/extended and use a suppressor generally, while they are used with no stock/stock folded and less overall ammo as secondary weapons.

For gameplay, the player issues a series of orders to their soldiers with time paused, then initiates a turn, with all of the player's orders being carried out for 20 seconds, after these 20 seconds, the game pauses again and the player can issue new orders.

An standalone expansion was later released: Alfa: Antiterror: Men's Work. This expansion was never translated for other languages but apparently added new equipment to the game.

Plenty of the weapons included in this game would be reused in Jagged Edge.

The following weapons appear in the video game Alfa: Antiterror:

The icon depicts a PM with wooden grips while the in-game model appears with black grips.

A handgun referred to as the "S&W 5906" is usable despite the fact that the pistol has a black finish and the 5906 has a stainless steel frame. The in-game handgun has a greater resemblance to the Smith & Wesson 5904 because of this.

The Calico M960 in-game.

Heckler & Koch MP7

The MP7 appears in-game.

Heckler & Koch MP7 - 4.6x30mm. The most notable differences between the MP7 and the MP7A1 is the bigger butt-pad on the stock, lack of mounting points for side rails, lack of trigger safety, and the texture on the pistol grip.

The AKM in-game.

Firing the GP-25 attached to the AKM. Oddly, while characters visibly switch their hands to actually use the GP-25, (switching their left hand to the launcher's trigger rather than holding the barrel) the muzzle flash is still from the actual rifle barrel of the weapon and the reload animation is the same as the rifle.

AN-94

A fictional hybrid OTs-14 Groza appears as one of the rifles, it is available either with a grenade launcher or a scope or suppressor that can also be taken together. This Groza doesn't match either version, it uses 7.62mm ammo like the OTs-14-1A version yet loads from 10-20 round magazines like the 9x39mm OTs-14-4A version.

Other

Mortar

An icon of a mortar (presumably a depiction of the 2B14 Podnos Mortar but the bipod is wrong) is shown for "Fire Support" markers, the player must move a radio man with a mortar icon to these spots and mortar fire will be automatically fired at a different marker showing an explosion with the same number. The Mortar takes 60 seconds before it can fire again.

A similar mechanic is used for friendly armored vehicles such as BMPs, they cannot be directly controlled but a radio man can move to marked locations to radio them.
