SPMBT
SPWAW

and have on the computer.....

Legion
Medeviel Total War

But I spend most of my time on Everquest ( in the evenings)

Havent been able to find a game I like single player, have Korsun Pocket but dont really like the Game controls. I dont like to much real time stuff, I am horrible at fast clicking..... but Total War works cause the strategic part is turn based.

Status: offline 		In regard to RTS vs Turn Based, I prefer turn based games. Hard to take the old board gamer out of me. In fact I look at computer war games as computer board games. So FPS games don't appeal to me, nor do flight or tank sims. I prefer tactical, operational and strategic turn based games the most. Although, I do like the HttR style of giving HQ's orders and then letting them carry them out in a RTS style.

Status: offline 		I am sure I already posted to this hehe :)

Ok my current play mix would be Steel Panthers WaW but call that with a Mega Campaign only for the most part. SP just seems bland otherwise.

If my machine was able to play SPMBT and SPWW2 as well as SP3 a lot nicer, then I think I would be playing a lot of other games a lot less too.

But I play the Panzer General series when I want lightweight warfare.
I play Strategic Command when I want grand strategy, and it appears to be my PBEM/ or TCP/IP game of choice.
I also like TOAW, but I have not played it much as of recent.
I like tank sims enough to fiddle with em, and likely will play Panzer Commander on occasion.

I have a bunch of other games, but I guess the ones above would be called "the inner circle".

Mind you, that list is only relevant if we leave it in computer land.
If I had a local that would give me one day a week worth of board gaming, you would not even know me online. I would be too busy playing ASL probably.

My choice games:

All Battleground Civil War and Napoleonic games
All HPS Campaign Civil War games
SPWAW
Russo German War
Vassal (not exactly a computer "game" but I spend most of my time with it)

Obviously I'm an old board gamer who likes to play "board" wargames on the computer.

Front Office Football 2k4
Front Office Football: TCY
Space Empires 4

FOF 2k4 is the leading contender now - I just can't bring myself to play UV anymore because it's just a tease for WiTP. I think I might re-install M1 Tank Platoon 2 just to go shoot some stuff.

Except that I do not succeed in playing it by now, since it does not recognize the very drive it was intalled from (i.e. R:), but the preceding one (i.e. M:). And I cannot deinstall it,nor reinstall with success. If anyone can pull me from that quagmire, *please*. MS windows XP pro SP3

Downloading the demo for the King's Bounty remake as I type, so that will probably be played rather extensively for the next few days.
Mercenaries 2 : World in Flames (for my 360, but it's also available for PC, so it counts ).

Status: offline 		Man, this is an old thread! Interesting to compare, though. Of the last list

quote:

HttR
Vietcong: Fist Alpha
X2
LOMAC
Korsun Pocket
Soldiers of Anarchy
Massive Assault
EYSA
Silent Storm
SB: ToD and AotR


HttR is the only one I still have installed, and SB: Tour of Duty the only other I've played in the last couple of years.


Currently being played are;

EVE online
STALKER: Clear Sky
Trackmania United Forever
Evochron Renegades
Combat Mission: Shock Force
GG's WBtS
Sword of the Stars: Born of Blood
BSG: Fleet Commander (a superb Homeworld 2 mod)

Multiwinia will be added to that list in a couple of days.

For me it's:


  • TOAW
  • AT
  • ACW
  • HOI
  • Football Manager

Jeeze, I own that one!

Never would have guessed so many were still playing it.

Once AtD came out it completely took me away from KP.
