Hmmmmm......... one Grand Dame of wargaming seems to have been missed..

#1. Steel Panthers World at War Generals Edition
#2. HTTR
#3. Battles In Normandy
#4. Battles in Italy

I rank BiN over BII as I think it was a larger leap from Korsun Pocket than BII was over BiN.

If it's not too late, I offer a "Game of the Year" vote to Shaun Sullivan's "Pure Sim Baseball". This was a risk taken by both Shaun & Dave Heath, since Matrix is primarily known as a wargaming company, BUT the risk is paying off. Pure Sim is steadily climbing up the ranks in Baseball Text-Based Sims, and as far as THIS fan is concerned, deserves the top spot in that category.

Interesting point is that a lot of the top choices are newly released games (within the last year) so I guess this proves Matrix is on the right track. One notable exception is BII but I would imagine the most active players hang out in the Run5 Forum.

I suppose the award should really go to Crown of Glory as it is new and ran WitP close. Never played COG - maybe I should try it.

Looking forward to some new titles being released in 2006.

Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to you all
