Action/RTS games from independent developers can sometimes be hit or miss, but I thought it was noteworthy just for the subject matter:

9th Company recreates in detail the events that took place during the last large-scale Soviet military operation. Few know the history: the 9th Company of the 345th Guards Airborne Regiment came under heavy fire on “Hill 3234” on January 7th, 1988. They managed to stop several attacks by an estimated 400 Mujahideen and Pakistani mercenaries and held their position for two gory days. The company lost 6 men, and the remaining 28 of the total 39 were wounded. Two 9th Company soldiers were posthumously awarded the Golden Star medal and the title of Soviet Hero.

Saw the Russian movie about this incident, I thought the movie was pretty good. Most Russians however think it is poor and inaccurate.

 

Had never heard of a game being made about it till now.
