| Post subject: | Strategic Level--WW II Games |
I'm enjoying these <i><b>TACTICAL LEVEL </b></i>games I've been playing since joining the CCC. But an old <i>(actually ancient) </i>wargaming buddy and I are missing our old <i><b>STRATEGIC LEVEL </b></i> paper map & cardboard counter WWII game. Any suggestions for good computer PBEM substitutes. We are presently looking at James Burnett's "Second World War: Storm over Europe" which is freeware but requires Aide-de-Camp 2 to operate. We've also seen "Grand Europa" mentioned a few times. We enjoy playing the entire theatre (or World) at once with a little political role playing thrown in. Half the fun is re-writing world history...Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. |

Bonjour, Try Uncommon Valor !!!! This is about the WWII South Pacific Campaign from the 05/01/42 till 12/31/43. Some of us know already this game but here is the website: http://www.matrixgames.com/Games/Uncomm ... ures_2.asp This is an extremely detailed, rather complicated turn-based wargame.... but so addictive !! The best wargame I ever played.... Have fun !! |

If you want PBEM, try Strategic Command from Battlefront. http://www.battlefront.com/products/str ... atcom.html There's a demo you can download if you'd like to give it a whirl before commiting. It's basic, and can be lots of fun. There's a pretty decent community with tournies etc. |

Computer Third Reich is still entertaining after all these years. PBEM is a bit of a pain with a cumbersome interface, but it is fun. (Even slightly addictive solo!) It is available, complete and free (even done so you do not need a CD to play): http://www.the-underdogs.org/game.php?id=1153 I remember upgrading to a 486 just to play this! ps works as is with sound on XP home and Win98. |
