    Well, in no particular order, I currently enjoy playing:

    The Operational Art of War: Century of Warfare
    Il-2 Sturmovik
    Strategic Command
    Combat Mission
    Europa Universalis II (ooops, not WWII!)
    (A bit of) Sudden Strike II

    Old favourites that may still see some action once in a while:
    Steel Panthers: World at War
    East Front II
    Panzer Elite
    War in Russia
    Europe Ablaze (On the Commodore 64 emulator!)
    + probably lots of others I forget now...

    Best WWII grand strategy game - Clash of Steel, SSI, 1991!

    Still better than Strategic Command, except for the AI which sucks.

    Also, MOH:AA (singleplayer only), Wolfenstein 3D (multiplayer only), and especially Battlefield 1942!

    Will get Il-2 at some point, if I get time to play it.

    Entertaining article on the wargame conducted by the Pentagon last month. The role of Saddam Hussein was played by retired USMC General Paul Van Riper.

    KT,

    I read about that! Isn't that insane! I liked the part where the US military leaadership in this excercise 'ordered' the enemy to use sattelite comms, because otherwise they weren't able to eavesdrop! HAHAHAHAHA!

    Geez....Well, I guess that is why you have exercises.

    You'd think the US Forces would have offered a "best out of three" to Riper instead of just cheating. [​IMG]

    I grew up on the old Avalon Hill games. I remember when their Blitzkrieg game was released--and then Panzerblitz!
    Playing Jutland on the living room floor...
    Does anybody still play those old chicken-wire games anymore?
