I'd like to see a wargame based on Cortés's conquest of the Aztec Empire. There are number of large battles leading up to the final showdown, and the siege of Tenochtitlan itself is a fascinating military study.

Polish - Bolshevik war of 1920, when a newly reborn Polish state with a last hope strike pushed bolshevik masses out from the outskirts of Warsaw back to Russia. This defeat delayed Soviet invasion for several years and almost cost Stalin his head, who confident of victory, for personal reasons moved some vital forces to Lviv allowing Polish victory. This war influenced Polish and Soviet command for years, Poles kept using cavalry and Stalin forever held a grudge against marshal Tukhachevsky and other generals, whom he finally got rid during 1934 purge. It was also probably the last big conflict with a massive use of cavalry as main mobile force.

Ottoman Empire knocking on Europe's east door in 16th and 17th century. I think I've never seen a game covering this.

I think there is a mod for EU3 that has that time period/scenario.Its a mod that simulates North America/Central America in that time period.

And, of course, a remake of Age of Rifles.

Happily playing Advanced Tactics now because there are superb Roman scenarios. AT, while being designed for WW2, does a pretty good job of adapting to the task.

Also, another vote for a remake of "Age of Rifles".

I would like to see a platoon/ship level wargame about the Peloponnesian wars where you can move around small groups of hoplites, light armed, cavalry etc. by ship.

Have a really good diplomatic model and make it PBEM between several players.

If we're talking about fantasy and/or sci-fi settings, then I would have to say bring on Twilight Imperium for the PC! I don't even want to think about the number of hours I've spent playing the board game....

Amen to that. Not that there aren't wargames that have decent AI's, but it seems like too many of them don't.

Operational-level recreation of Op Desert Storm w/all historic political and economic factors, and not another 1st person shooter.

Honorable mention: all the Crusades in the same game w/a map of Europe to the ME.

If Howardian 1930s fantasy alt 'history' is allowed I'd like to see a game that simulates the 'Hyborian Age.' Tactical battles and/or grand strategy.

I've been looking forward to the Conan: Total War mod (Link) for M2TW, but I'm beginning to wonder whether it will ever be released.

Well, then what's the problem?HPS updates the games to modern Status.So what you are basicly saying is that you want a game about those wars with fancy graphics.

Unless you are graphics hore, the HPS games you have are fine.

I'll second this.

A real time naval game along the lines of John Tiller's HPS naval campaigns with updated graphics and cutting edge interface tools would be great too.

A Solomons air/land/sea game with 10 miles per hex.
