Status: offline 		Hi y'all. I need a few suggestions from the community concerning a game. Essentially, I'm looking for a John Tiller campaign Series style of game, but set in the modern context. ( 1950's to present day, if possible) It must have set-piece scenarios and fantasy settings as seen from the Campaign Series. Any and all help is appreciated.
Thanks very much.

Cheers, Neilster

But for what I ask?! Why would you seek anything other than the Glory of WWI or WWII??! Have you gone Mad?? Are you feeling Daft??! Nothing can be edified without Uncle Joe's Treachery and Uncle Adolf's Chicanery! What do think you will gain by this misguided Wandering without General Pattons beautiful "slapping" incident??! O the Folly!!

Maybe not quite what you're looking for. It's not turn based but Close Combat Modern Tactics is present day and a lot of fun.
