MekWars (renamed MegaMekNET)... and not much else [:D]
You know what they say, don't you? About how us MechWarriors are the modern knights, how warfare has become civilized now that we have to abide by conventions and rules of war. Don't believe it.

Computer Game -- Age of Rifles
Boardgame -- Musket and Pike (old SPI game dealing with tactical warfare in the 1500s and 1600s)
RPB -- I've only played D&D, but Tekumel: Empire of the Petal Throne looks very interesting.
Tabletop -- Man of War (Warhammer at sea)
In the bath -- Frogman (when I was about 6 and able to actually swim to the bottom of the tub with a snorkel and frogman's mask.

Don’t blame ravinhood ,he is just one of the many victims of the RTS crimes.
