ORIGINAL: Edge In response to Joe D.'s questions. yes, I am after a wargame :) Would probably prefer land-based as I assume it would give more variety of types of unit than land or air, although I'm happy to be persuaded otherwise. As for micro-managing, I'm not sure what you mean. I want to be responsible for every single unit move ... Being responsible for every single unit IS micro-managing, and you can do that w/the turn-based Tiller Civil War campaign series. Of course, some of the larger battles, i.e., Gettysburg, require larger maps, but they can more easily be viewed at a smaller scale -- besides, the graphics on the larger scales leave much to be desired -- and there are many smaller scenarios w/each title. My favorite type of turn-based game is WEGO, where both players make their respective moves, which are then simultaneously resolved. BoA and it's latest incarnation, WiA, comes to mind. BTW, naval warfare can have many more units (ship types) than land warfare; PACWAR is a WEGO turn-based naval warfare game that is a free download on these forums, however, the learning curve is somewhat steep, but not nearly as steep as War in the Pacific or it's kid sister, Uncommon Valor.
