Final Liberation: Warhammer Epic 40,000, also known as Warhammer 40,000: Final Liberation is a turn-based strategy game released for the PC in 1997. The game is typically best known as the first of the Warhammer games to fully recreate the experience of the table-top game on a computer unlike other games which simply used the setting to create a RTS or FPS.
The game borrows heavily in terms of rules and style from the original table-top game of Epic and the background of Warhammer 40,000, demanding a combination of luck and tactics necessary to succeed in game warfare.

[edit] Gameplay
The game operates in turns where the player must deploy and manage their units carefully through squad formations and unit selections. Each side, the Orks and the Imperium, are presented with a wide variety of infantry selections and variations, allowing more possible and intricate battles and outcomes, making gameplay strategies more difficult to create and manage, however, to an experienced player, the wide variety of units should and most often is, taken advantage of. The units available include a variety of vehicles (tanks, armoured personnel carriers, and artillery), infantry units and aircraft.
[edit] Modes
The game features two modes, campaign and skirmish. In the campaign mode, the player works through a series of levels to defeat the ork presence on the planet to finally capture Volistad. The campaign mode is only single-player. In the Skirmish mode, the player can set-up a battle for which the player versus an array of computer controlled opponents, or up to four other players on a local network or over the Internet can pit against one another for dominance on maps ranging in size from vast to small.
[edit] Storyline
The campaign features a non-linear story line where the player controls the Imperial forces to take back or "liberate" the planet of Volistad from Ork raiders. The territory controlled at each stage determines the points available for the replacement and repair of units. The winning of certain maps gives access to certain specialist units such as superheavy tanks or Titans (giant mecha).
