Hi, While it's been a long time since I've played any strategic war game, I HAVE spent countless hours staring at a board and fiddling around with hundreds of counters. Nowdays it's nearly impossible to find time for that, but I have a lot of warm memories of crushing the armies of a friend of mine, or trying to desperately dodge a powerful force controlled by my friend with my feeble stack of 2nd class units. After thinking this for a while, I think the 1st place is divided by two games. "Imperium Romanum II", I can't remember the company that made it, but it was superb!!! After seeing "The Gladiator", starrring Russell Crowe, I had a strong urge to get the game from the cellar and start playing. "Third Reich", by Avalon Hill, and "Advanced Third Reich", which was also a great game. It truly was a strategic game, where you had to take into account the actions that you were planning for the next season beforehand. The combat was quite chess-like, where you always won if you had a 3-1 attack (of course, the cost could depend on the dice), and on a 2-1 attack you had a slim chance of losing. I especially liked the number of options that the German player had, as you could attack almost every country in Europe, except Switzerland.
