Info about Armored Brigade:

Official game description:
Armored Brigade is a real-time tactical wargame, focusing on realism and playability. The game has drawn inspiration from classics such as Close Combat, Steel Panthers and Flashpoint Campaigns: Red Storm.  
In Armored Brigade the Cold War has turned hot, and Europe is once again torn apart by conflict. An "Iron Curtain" divides the Western Powers gathered together under the NATO banner from the Soviet Union and its Warsaw Pact Allies.  
Take command of the deadliest mechanized formations available during an arc of time spanning from the Kennedy-Chrušcev confrontation to the final years, and fight your opponents in large and detailed maps all across Europe.  
Large maps, modelled upon real terrain make each battle a true test of wits. Weather and visibility all play a role and with several munition types, including air to air combat and artillery, no battle will be the same. Exciting and challenging tank warfare only adds to the level of realism.

- Community Price:
  - Community fair range: $5.50 - $10.00
  - Reasoning: The community sentiment is split. One reviewer states the game is worth its full price, implying the current price is fair. Another reviewer considers the current price (70 CNY) too high and suggests a discounted range of 40-50 CNY. Converting these values to USD (approximately 7 CNY per USD), the fair price range is roughly $5.5 to $10. The upper bound reflects the full price endorsed by the first reviewer, while the lower bound comes from the second reviewer's suggested discount.
- Playtime Metrics:
  - Game completion: N/A
  - Story completion: N/A
  - Session length: 1.0h
  - Endgame: N/A
  - Reasoning: The evidence indicates highly variable session lengths, from 10-15 minute skirmishes to battles lasting hours. The 90-minute tactical victory and the mention of half-hour to hour quick maps suggest a typical session around 1 hour. The game's scalability supports both short and long sessions, so 1 hour is a reasonable average session length. No evidence supports game completion, story completion, or endgame playtime metrics.
