Also there is a new Command and Conquer 3: Tiberian Dawn or something where they are introducing a new alien faction into the mix which should provide interesting...

My friend has Medieval total war 2 and he never shuts up about it. The only way he will stop is when you get mad at him...

I'm a moderator down at JP's Panzers which is dedicated to the Panzer General games by SSI. Especially Panzer General 3 is a game which I've been playing a lot lately. Note, SSI no longer exists and the last of the Panzer General games is already a few years old. So if you want awesome graphics and get the most out of your new computer, this is not the game for it.

I can remember that there is a game SP2WWII which I play and enjoy. Little bit boring in parts waiting to come to grips with your opposition but fun. The AI seems to place you ages away in terms of movement when you choose auto-deployment and the self-deployment seems to have limits on how close to the enemy you can set up your troops. In one game though I beat Poland on one mission where you had to take a Polish fortified position. Oh, I was Germany and it was an infantry mission without armour or a lot of artillery.

Its a totally different era but I would strongly reccomend Rome Total War. Its very addictive.

So is SPWWII as a sort of top down battle commander type game. With plenty of scenarios and a lot of add-ons this is one game where you will never run out of campaigns.

Rome: Total War is very addictive, as is the expansion Barbarian Invasion. And Medieval II: Total War. Nothing better than going on a crusade in the evening...

Nothing better than rolling over Poland, playing D-Day invasions, Tarawa, etc.

Yes, but SP2WWII is free on the camo Workshop Website. It is just a great game for WW2 going from 1939 to 1949 in Version 2.0.

The only WW2 strategy game I've got is Sudden Strike. Quite enjoyed it at first, but trying to move dozens of tiny units and working out just what was going on in the middle of a battle dented its appeal somewhat. Also, you quickly learn the best way to win is just to move a few metres, obliterate everything with heavy artillery, then repeat. Aside from that, I have loved at various times Empire Earth (which covers everything from the Stone Age to space) Civilisation and Sim City, Total Annihilation, Age of Empires, Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds and of course Command and Conquer

The problem I always have with rts games is that you can win just by rushing to build a massive army; the player with 10 tanks will beat the player with 5, which as we all know isn't that realistic

Not with Company of Heros! The Allies can build about 5 shermans quickly but all of them can be destroyed by a single Panther or Tiger (which are very expensive, just like it was historicly)

COH looks good but it is too much first person shooter sounding without the freedom of Bf1942 FH for my liking. Civilization IV Beyond The Sword is due out in July and looking very good and like it might be worth my while getting, especially if it includes CIV Warlords... Looking forward to finding out more about that expansion pack...
