List your top five games. (in order)

WOTR  is not a pure wargame; it also has the role-playing element of the Fellowship carrying the ring to Ordruin.

BOTFA is a better option if you just want a stand-up fight between fantasy armies. Don’t like Gandalf’s range-finder, though. Seems completely wrong for an area movement game.

Here is the BGG link. Some action shots

I agree Xeno 1939 game was bad ass
russkie infantry at 2$ was pretty brutal
but it was fun to use each countries special units
I think us fighters were 10$ if I remember right

I thought it might be a game called Stargate.  I played a game called Vector 3 by the same company long ago.  I’d love to get my hands on one of those now.  I think I bought it for about $5 back in the early 80s.

Actually, if you are looking for something more new and cutting edge, you might want to try out this http://screenshots.teamxbox.com/gallery/1556/The-History-Channel-Civil-War/p1

I like both pretty equally. With regards to what you said about RTS skill being about memorizing hotkeys and such, I don’t bother attaining enough skill in this department just to be better at the game. (Maybe this is why I still haven’t beaten Starcraft or Warcraft 3?) But I still love RTS because of the fast-paced decision making! On the other hand, Turn-based is awesome because it allows alot of time for decision making. So as long as it’s one of the two extremes, I’m good to go. :D

no offense but maybe his Screen name has something to do with it… :lol: sorry Weasel… :)

I know it’s not exactly turned based, but with the pause button, I would have to say Hearts of Iron. Great game once they fixed all the bugs inside of it.
