I would say easier games include games Battlefield Academy, or Operation Barbarossa, the easiest being Conquest!. Intermediate games include any of the John Tiller titles, steel panthers, or Advanced Tactics. The more complex and advanced titles are War in the Pacific, War in the East, or Harpoon. However, I could be incorrect but I think I have pretty good idea of what each game falls under.

Very simple, short game similar to Axis and Allies (but more complex, you have to manage supplies). Also Battlefield Academy.

Bought it when it first came out and I still play it. Gary Grisby World at War: a world divided. Very simple, short game similar to Axis and Allies (but more complex, you have to manage supplies).

Another vote for GG World at War, probably the easiest Matrix game to pick up from the scratch, and also one of the best and most enjoyable.

Introductory and Basic are the easiest ratings. Hannibal: Rome and Carthage Battlefield Academy Operation Barbarossa Conquest! Democracy Armada 2526 Commander Europe at War Those are probably the easiest games to start with, though I may be missing a few. There are quite a lot of games that are also pretty straightforward to learn, but are still a bit more challenging in terms of the learning curve than those I listed above. Regards, - Erik

I think Steel Panthers W@W is easy to learn too. Start with tutorial and play small battles and you'll get the jist of it real quickly.

Also look for the games that have demos. Try them out and look at the added features - which Matrix is great at with regards to demos. For example, Battles from the Bulge has several video tutorials and a massive PDF game manual to describe how to play. I would say that is an intermediate game to get into from scratch, but worth the effort as the actual level of involvement during gameplay is completely up to you.

I dunno about Hannibal:Rome and Carthage on that, Erik. It's a rather unique game system. It took me a few runs to figure out how all the little details worked.
