Wargame of the Year 2010

Command Ops: Battles From The Bulge takes the highly acclaimed Airborne Assault engine back to the West Front for the crucial engagements during the Ardennes Offensive. Test your command skills in the fiery crucible of Airborne Assault’s “pausable continuous time” uber-realistic game engine. It's up to you to develop the strategy, issue the orders, set the pace, and try to win the laurels of victory in the cold, shadowy Ardennes.
Command Ops: Highway to the Reich brings us to the setting of one of the most epic and controversial battles of World War II: Operation Market-Garden, covering every major engagement along Hell’s Highway, from the surprise capture of Joe’s Bridge by the Irish Guards a week before the offensive to the final battles on “The Island” south of Arnhem.

Dave deserves this for this masterpiece of an engine he has been building for 15 years.

Congratulations! (though I am not surprised!)

Conquest of the Aegean, his previous game, actually won the same award back in 2006, so it's not as if it took the grumpy grogs over there 15 years to recognize this amazing engine [;)]

Or buy one of the new Windows 7 tablets from Dell, HP, Acer, Asus and other manufacturers who are busy jumping into this market

I'm keeping track of new development through this site : http://www.tabletpcreview.com/

Indeed, now that Microsoft have shown the next release of Windows (8) running on ARM chips a decent OS (:)) for tablet is tantalisingly near.

I dunno. I'm fascinated by new technology, including tablets.

But these old eyes and slower reaction time may not marry up to a touch keyboard and 7-11 inch screen.

For wargaming, I want a full size keyboard, mouse, and 20+ inch display.

BTW, IMHO...great game deserving of the award!
