Status: offline 		Is there a WWI strategy game out there which members would recommend?

Something as close as possible to an epic like "War in the Pacific", with depth and complexity beyond the front line fighting.

I've been looking around but nothing really stands out as being above the rest in terms of age and detail, except for Rise Of Flight, which is a flight sim and I already have it.

Maybe an older game with some excellent mods?? ....I'm more into a long campaign than individual scenarios or fictional battles.

Thanks.

Yes, would second CTGW and the mod that budd suggests, plus the mod's creator (Robotron) is still active.. CTGW is a really fun game in MP.

Status: offline 		I really like the Ageod game To End All Wars. I did an AAR on the Ageod forums. Played it through until the end. I have probably played it more than any other Ageod game and I have a lot of the Ageod games.
