Status: offline 		I don't know if the original post was a gimmick or not, but I am also interested in the question - are there any good strategy/war games that play in a browser?. So, client side stuff that you don't need to install. I realize that most browser games would lack depth, but maybe there are some fun ones?

There was a link posted to that odd, alternate timeline, airplane game recently - the nuclear powered bi-planes and stuff if I recall (OK I found it - it is called Steambirds). Others like that maybe?

Thanks.

Status: offline 		Most browser-based strategy games I come across are more like country management sims, where you get money, buy armies and fight other players (passively).  I guess the guy is finding a similar game that is based on WW2.

Status: offline 		Yeah...Google works...but I was hoping for some human-filtered results to differentiate good from crap. 724,000 links is a lot to wade through.

So perhaps there are some strategy browser games that people have actually played and enjoyed or have heard about? I am curious about the popularity of browser games...especially after observing my nephews forgo the gamecube, wii, ipod touch, and nintendo DS in order to play MiniClip games on a PC.

Or maybe the answer is: "There aren't any good ones."

Thanks again.
