A good WW3 nuclear war sim.  The only game out there that lets you have nuclear war is Civilisation!

Try Defcon

Not exactly a 'sim', maybe, but great fun.

I dunno how it would be done exactly, but it'd need a fairly solid political system and some sort of rules on escalation.  With conventional and nuclear strategies available, grand strategy style.  First strike, riding out attacks, etc, all that stuff I read about in Cold War era strategy books that never got used and probably never will.  And none of this "if the nukes start flying its game over.".  I wanna see the fallout zones and post-atomic deserts and a readout on how many millions died and if I "won" or not!

I suppose it'd look a bit like Hearts of Iron but more detailed and maybe not real time?

...am I ghoulish?

Remakes - Act Stations (updated with 3D graphics)
- Great Naval Battles update with new 3D graphics and new campaigns.

Something New

- A modern Naval game (mix Harpoon III and UV/Witp) tactical naval combat with UV/Witp campaign (think North Alantic 86 meets Harpoon), forget the 3D graphics.

- UV/WITP WWII Med game (I'm getting tired of the pacific!).

This looks exactly like what I want. Even with the Wargames-esque graphics!

Cheers!

Here's an idea, how about redoing my monicer?
 
Ogre & GEV
 
Sometimes I don't have hours to sit at my computer but only 10 - 15 min. I would much rather play Ogre than Solitare!

I'd like to see an RTS-style game set in Ireland from about 1500 to about 1600 - covering battles in the style of Knockdoe to the Nine Years War. Galloglass and calivers, that sort of stuff. A few guns but javelins and axes still having a role on the field.

I don't think it's ever been done before.

A WITP level game based on the wars in the Age of Reason ( 7 Years War, American Revolution, Napoleonic Wars). The same game would be able to have quite a few different scenarios depicting the first true world wars.

I think Lords of the Realms 3 has campaign about that... well, at least there is something about Ireland on medieval age. Too bad game don't compete with Medieval Total War.
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.

There are alot of games that deal with the medieval era; and a few good ones that deal with the later colonial (18th & 19th century) but it's really difficult to find a good game that focusses on the 16th and 17th centuries. Ireland particularly interests me because it's so unique; irregular guerrilla warfare (with chainmail and axes [X(] ) in an era of cannons, pike formations, and muskets.
