WW2O was an attempt to link air and ground and naval combat in one big online game.

Feinder and I played it for several years. Its still out there right now. Not sure how many players are on it, but they have a 2 week trial run if anyone is interested.

For those that have been around since BBS days (my father ran one and I still have a legit key for tw2002 in my file)
Here's a photo of Tradewars 2002, spending hours writing scripts and strategy between a half dozen people around the state, total fun for after school or during :D

It was almost a great game; I loved it and would play again in a heartbeat. There were a lot of issues, but the biggest for me was the lack of player density. I played armor and infantry almost exclusively and the fighting always seemed to break down into guarding an outpost for hours with no activity, fighting off endless allied air attacks on a forward base, or camping an infantry spawn lol

I lucked out; I didn't really start getting into wargames until I was nearly out of high school, when I talked my dad into buying Panzer Leader. That was the rock that started the avalanche; after that it was Panzer Blitz, 3rd Reich, Jutland, Squad Leader (plus all the modules!!), Victory in the Pacific, Midway, etc. When the computer games started showing up in the 80's I grabbed anything naval oriented; Battlecruiser, Warship, Bismarck, Carrier War, PacWar, etc, etc, etc...
