Kind of replicating my post at RUS forums here, but it's equally unbelievable that such a great wargaming system receives so little attention here. Currently DCI + BCII along with AGEOD games - ancient ones, RUS, Espana 1936, early American Wars and the following titles (though dunno about Napoleonics ) are the most advanced wargames that cover virtually every aspect of warfare very convincingly and can still be turn based and retain its PBEM module which is a must for a wargame to be anywhere near a realistic battlefield simulation - even Command Ops and CMANO are a different breed, they're real time and CMANO is hardly playable against a human opponent, but for Baloogan's mod which I have never tried so cannot tell for sure ...

Hi Burroughs. You are right. Victor's system deserves a lot better. It is definitely one of the better translations of the older hex-based board wargames. Alas, it does not have the crash-bang-boom, pretty pictures and 3-D representations so popular with folks who want to play silly (and highly unrealistic) tactical games. Game tactics are about as realistic as TV reality shows, and about as dull; and that goes doubly for FPSs. (OK, I'll make an exception for Close Combat, but even that has turned bizarre with the Tiger-destroying rifle grenades.) That said, I have to add that "Case Blue" is a big disappointment. If I want to play a stale-mated WW1 Western Front, then I'll play another game; not Case Blue with WW2 units and terrain.

It could be that I am old school- and I am old. Grand-operational and strategic level games are so much richer and more fun than simpleton electronic miniatures.

Now is anyone up for a campaign game of "Decisive Campaigns: The Blitzkrieg from Warsaw to Paris"?

Agreed where else can you play case white?
I find the ai annoyingly good in it's policy of withdrawing.
they are hard to cut off.

Yep, still a good game. Recently played it in RL with a friend who has it and I'm actually consider buying myself a copy.

True, it has some historical issues (1939 in particular), but its nothing that a simple mod or patch can't change.
