many thanks for the timely response iainmcneil; I greatly appreciate it sir.

I'g like to find out if Commander: Europe At War is going to allow stacking; I have read a number of posts regarding this, and am not sure at the moment what stacking will be. Also, although I understand that Corps sized units will be used, I'd like to know the scale of the air and naval units if th...

Western Allied and German army corps had anywhere from 2-4 divisions to a Corps, and I believe that Soviet Armies approximated one of these Corps in size. So it sure seems to me that unless the hex scale is very small, the Corps frontages are not going to correspond anywhere near to historical reali...

Oh yes- Third Reich. As a grand strategy game, it has (in my opinion) never been surpassed. Whatever one may think of it, the basic mechanics of the game were very simple; the sequence of play was far more complex, but readily learned by those who focused on actually reading the rules.

I like better Panzer General 2 system. You also have action points but you can attack only once with all units except armor. You can move before or after attack with all units. Armor units have special type of attack: if they overrun (destroy completely) enemy units they get additional action point...

And by the way-Grant was nowhere near the butcher than Lee was; Grants "butcher" reputation was inmvented by his detractors, and was based on ONE engagement- Cold Harbor. His Vicksburg and Chattanooga campaigns were masterpieces, and were pulled off at moderate cost in lives. By contrast,...

Hello all, I have just joined this forum; I've been playing strategy games (board, and then on computer) since I was 7 in 1964. I don't pretend to have all the answers, but believe that I can provide something helpful here. I hope so anyway. I have hardly read any of the posts, so if I repeat what o...
