I’d still check out the Atari “Axis & Allies,” unless you have NO interest in RTS (as stated, like Command & Conquer). It trades strategy for faced pace action, and can be fun with friends on a LAN. I got a chance to play for a while, and it can be entertaining, for a short time…
Others to try would be Sudden Strike, another RTS but not as goofy, and my all time favorite RTS involving WW2 material: Close Combat. A damn good game…
I downloaded a copy of Iron Blitz from a website I can’t remember - I’ll try and track it down. It was a relatively small download, runs fairly well (gets slower and slower as you go on, even when turning down some of the settings), and is FREE!!!
Eastern Front Question
-
How much did Lend-Lease help the U.S.S.R? Did U.S and Great Britian supplies actually change events on the eastern front?
-
In terms of trucks and winter boots alone, the answer is that the value of Western Allied support to Soviets was incalculably high.
In A&A we think in terms of sending them Ftrs for defense of Moscow… or a few IPCs here and there. But it was a mega-campaign to bulk up the entire industrial and war-fighting infrastructure.
Anyway, that’s what I’ve read… somewhere on the web you can find actual stats on how many vehicles, parts, ammo, etc. we shipped to Russia…

I find it funny that the Soviets after WWII, with all the Cold War tension, try to play down the role of Lend-Lease.
-
Really? Did they claim it was no big deal?
