However, I think you are sincere and really want to know so I'll put in my two cents.

Put me down for Turn Based.

Status: offline 		Both TB and RT

Only problem , I have yet to find titles other then the CC and Panther ’s engines that have IMHO got real-time "right .

Obviously I am forgetting a few titles/engines that have done real-time justice but in the end developers turn real-time into a four letter word ,not the community.

That is if we are talking about “realistic physics time N’ space , nothing worse then watching a squad under suppression loaded with full battle rattle run the ¼ at Olympic speeds or building a Tank factory on Omaha beach to dampen the realistic factor. But on the other hand there is countless titles over the last 5-10 years that havebeen a blast like Dawn Of War for one , that run a real-time engine .



For people that like larger scale like WITP.COG, HOI and so on there realistically is no option other then turn-base.

"WE GO", turn based but with simultaneous turn resolution. Compare with IGOUGO, where one player's turn is followed by the other's.

At the risk of infuriating V22 Osprey even further 'Take Command' and the Prosim games should certainly be included. Indeed including all of those and CM:SF (which I happen to think shines in RT) I'm struggling to think of a recent attempt at a serious wargame that really messed up RT?

Usually better games as far as tactics and strategy, plus result doesn't rely on quick reflexes or missing action in one area while trying to play in another.

Yes, another shinning example of how real-time can keep an even balance between enjoyable but realistic game play.
