WendellM Posted November 23, 2000 Share Posted November 23, 2000 I hate to admit it, since it's drawn so much fire, but for me, before CM, there was Close Combat III. I repent - I await CM2 with open arms. But, that was my (flawed, tactical) touchstone before CM. My strategic touchstone, not yet equalled and not likely to be soon, is still AH's Russian Front (a nice, innovative, system). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darwin Posted November 23, 2000 Share Posted November 23, 2000 Well I only play CM versus humans so I picked up Baldurs Gate II for solo play. I still visit my friends at "chain of command" occasionally and love to streetrape on the capture the flag maps in "infantry". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geier Posted November 23, 2000 Share Posted November 23, 2000 Will buy BG2 and Europa Universalis. Possibly also Icewind Dale: Heart of Winter. If I found out a way to get paid without having to work I'd get Championship Manager 00/01 in a jiffy. ------------------ Johan "The succesful execution of a well devised plan often looks like luck to saps."

Lee Posted November 23, 2000 Share Posted November 23, 2000 GriffinCheng: I highly recommend you try Thief. That is one excellent game. Starfleet Command II will be a lot of fun, also.

Guest AbnAirCav Posted November 23, 2000 Share Posted November 23, 2000 <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Hey, I think you may wish to try out HPS's Panzer Campaign series (quite close to the scale of West Front). The designer was the one for Talonsoft's Battleground series (sorry can't remember the name of that gentleman ).<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Thanx for the suggestion, Griffin, I agree that those three games by John Tiller are excellent work. However, to me the scale (operational, battalion sized units, 1 km hexes, 2 hour turns) is just a bit more than I prefer, so they didn't quite make my top list. FWIW, there's a table comparing the scales of some WWII wargames at http://www.dragon-isle.net/TheBunker/wargames.html. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest goonch Posted November 23, 2000 Share Posted November 23, 2000 I probably would have finished Deus Ex sooner. Along with CM I play Baldur's Gate 2 with small fixes of Enemy Engaged(EECH),Combat FS 2, Railroad Tycoon 2. I must admit, I think I will be putting everything aside, except CM of course, for B-17 2---Yeahhhhh babyyyyyyyyyyyyy. It's on its way care of the Brits. ------------------ What do you know about surfing, you're from New Jersey ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaffertape Posted November 23, 2000 Share Posted November 23, 2000 Interesting that there are lots of Urban Ops players here (myself included). There is only one other game that I regularly play: The orignal 'X-COM: Ufo Defence'. An oldie (1994?) but one hell of a goody. Not really comparable to CM except for its ability to make you truly connect with your soldiers and scream along with them as they die horribly.

Maximus Posted November 23, 2000 Share Posted November 23, 2000 Actually, now that I think about it, I played Age of Empires II and Need for Speed IV: High Stakes before CM arrived just to fill in the time gap. My buddy did bring over Shogun: Total War and I played that for about a week or so and haven't been back to it since, in fact I deleted that 1+ GB monstrosity. Nothing seems to hold my interest as much as CM does. I may reinstall it 'cause I saw a show on Discovery-World that talked about feudal Japan and its Samuri Warriors.

I have the newer XCOM here, I played it once I think. It isn't as engaging as the oldie. In the old game, I finished with a bang: I sent a missile down a corridor, up a level, did a 180 degree turn and sent it right in the middle of the room. There was a huge explosion, and the game ended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaffertape Posted November 23, 2000 Share Posted November 23, 2000 PATBOIVIN: Gotta love X-COM. I despised Apocalypse - it took all of the scare out of the game. I still remember the time when one of my troops went berserk while still on the ramp of the dropship. She did a 180 and fired her rocket launcher right into it, frying 6 other troopers and herself. Much like CM, you finish a game with some great stories. Maybe the much delayed sequel will recapture the magic. GAFF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HENTZAU Posted November 24, 2000 Share Posted November 24, 2000 I was sure that some of you would have mentioned Red Baron 3D. Its the CM of multiplayer and single player flight sims. It has a great community like Combat Mission does. Its free online too. You can still get it for a $20 US(what a deal)http://www.sierra.com There is a patch 1.0.7.8 that lets you see the multiplayer servers http://www.wingsofhonor.com There are many free add ons that make it look great and or improve realism. The trouble is that if you play both CM and RB3D there is no time left for anything else. I'm afraid my assimilation isn't complete yet as i'm still spending most of my time in RB3D. If I wasn't I would be here. Sacrilege i'm sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
