ORIGINAL: marklaker He's 16 and a pretty bright kid with a decent knowledge of military history. Outside of RTS games, his PC wargaming experience has been limited to SPWAW, Close Combat, Crusader Kings, and Hearts of Iron, but he has some gameplay with old SPI boardgames like Barbarossa. AOW III is an interesting choice. I wore out the original back in the day. Absolutely loved it. How does Decisive Campaigns stack up against the Command Ops series? Oh, in that case I recommend Panzer Corps. It is a game I have never tired of playing. Having a core group of units that go with you through the game is a big plus and a big incentive to use them carefully, rather than moving and attacking carelessly. I find Panzer Corps a thrill to play. Decisive Campaigns is very easy to understand but it has a lot of depth and harder to master than Panzer Corps. The card system adds great flavor and can change how scenarios are played out each time they are played.
