“Start Thinking Soldier”
This project comprises a series of web-based missions that expands upon four television ads, featuring challenges which put the user in the boots of a variety of realistic soldiering and training scenarios, executed using a mix of Flash, Unity and video content.

The three driving-based challenges were developed using Unity and together they form our entry for the Unity Awards 2009, however they should be considered within the context of the larger project which was produced by a larger team at Skive.

The 3 Unity challenges are:
Jackal (off-road training)
Convoy (reach a destination point across hostile terrain)
Ambulance (rescue injured civillians in an earthquake zone)

This ‘Making Of’ page has videos and information about the making of the entire project (not unity-specific):

This page has summaries, screenshots links for each challenge in the project, in the order that they are encountered, so you can see how the unity challenges fit in with the video and flash sections:
