What I'm looking for:
I like World War 2 time period; I want something that's at least the scope of one theater, preferably global scoped. I like sea and air combat better than ground combat, but I'm willing to put up with all three as long as the air and sea sections make for interesting strategy.
Preferably I would be able to control or at least direct the nature of reinforcements, like mix of CVs vs BBs vs. DDs, etc.
Preferably I could play multiplayer, Hot seat, PBeM or live with friends, but a strong single player is needed too. If multi-player is an option, I would like a game where I can find opponents willing to play someone new.
Background: (It's at the end in case you aren't interested, just skip..
)I played all three Hearts of Iron games, but find them somewhat... unsatisfactory. I never feel like I have enough control over the game, or that I can figure out why certain things happen.
I played tabletop counter-based war-games in college. My favorite game by far is Luftwaffe.
Thanks in advance for any responses!
