In Fail Safe you have the chance to Command both Soviet and NATO naval and air battle groups in a 12 mission campaign that will see nuclear fire rain down upon the earth and sea. Advanced weapons like SAM missiles and supersonic jet fighters serve alongside older platforms. F-86 Sabers and F-104 Starfighters will take on Mig-15's and 21's. Old ships like the HMS Victorious, a carrier veteran of World War II, will take on the newest ships of the 1960's like the Soviet November-class submarines and Sverdlov-class cruisers.
- The anti-ship missile has arrived, but will it eclipse the naval gun? Fight in the early age of missile warfare
- Fight on the sea and in the sky. Play 12 missions that run the gamut from full-scale fleet actions to sub hunting, motor-torpedo boat attacks, and convoy escorts
- The supersonic jet and anti-air missile has changed aerial warfare: Can the bombers get past modern fighters like the F-100 Super Sabre or Mig-19 Farmer?
- Will you press the big red button? You may be the commander that chooses to drop the atom bomb.
