The problem for me is that I have never been able to get TOAW Century of Warfare to play on my XP machine.......

Really I got it working no problem. One of the TOAW games has problems but most people can get COW working on XP.

Try Windows compatibilty. There must be away around it.

I got it working as well but experienced annoying crashes in the large map scenarios. Never did figure it out. I may load it onto the new PC and try my luck again.

Both Scenario's can be found at the above link. With these scenario's expect it to take up to 20 or 30 minutes to chug through the supply routine at the beginning of the turn. It may look like a crash but it is not, just a huge scenario processing a large amount of data.

Also both of the Strategic WWI scenarios are strictly PBEM. But you should have not problems finding an opponent. I am on Week 30 of Pierro's scenario and the Central Powers are stalemated on the Western Front but making great progress against Russia. This is a long-term game that has been going for 6 months now (about a turn a week). Kind of like playing WITP. But it has been very fun.

Status: offline 		Paradox's Victoria game (19th century) had a World War 1 scenario which was pretty good. The system for entrenchment is quite brutal, attacks with 1% efficiency and such. It manages to duplicate trench warfare quite accurately - I remember a war I started between the UK and USA in about 1870 which led to a huge trench system across the Canadian border...

Overall though Victoria isnt a pure wargame, its got social and industrial aspects too. Hearts of Iron is a wargame, Victoria is somewhere between HoI and Civilisation.

...Vicky is my fave Paradox game.
