sjd0309 -> Good Beginner Grand Strategy Games?? (7/13/2008 5:18:59 PM)
I have little experience with Grand Strategy games. I take these games to be those that require more strategy and planning than a squad level game. Is there a Matrix release that might be a good entry level game for someone who is interested in a larger scale game than squad level battles. Somethingthat requires you to plan ahead for supply and reinforcements etc. yet is not so daunting that micromanagement is all I would do... Cheers, SJD

The operational art of war III Great Title.Units sizes range from a squad to an entire army and every thing in between. And you can always choose between standard and advanced rules.

I'd recommend giving Commander: Europe at War a try - feedback we've had from many customers indicates its an easy to learn, fun to play grand strategy game. http://www.matrixgames.com/products/344/details/Commander.-.Europe.at.War

"I'd recommend giving Commander: Europe at War a try - feedback we've had from many customers indicates its an easy to learn, fun to play grand strategy game." I didn't pick it up as it is a little more than I wanted to pay. Thanks for the recommend though!

There's always TOAW III, even if it isn't grand strategy by definition, you can find almost any scenario complexity you want.

Cheers, SJD I know this is going outside matrix, but have you given Strategic Command 2 a look. Strategic Command series have always been good for entry level gaming.
