Favorite Turn Based Game

CCB · Post by **CCB** » Fri Dec 06, 2002 1:57 am

So what's your favorite (and you can only pick one) turn based game?

Mine is Panzer General 2 (can you believe it?!). Its soooo easy to learn (I never even read the manual!) and fun to play.

PG2 has better graphics than PG, Allied General, or Pacific General. And you can't PBEM game in PG3D or PG3SE.

Plus a game has to be WW2 for me to play it.

PacWar? Then why not Uncommon Valor?

My favorite turn-based game? ALL of them. Because even the worst of them are better than any RTS game.

My APO is restricted to 16 oz or less and they frown on CDs being shipped through their system here.

I don't know what I will do when War in the Pacific is shipped. So sad.

Don't you know anybody in the REAL world that could hold a copy for you to pick up on your next leave??

My wife is a Thai national and we live in Sakhon Nakon Thailand... kind of far from the real world.

I haven't spent anytime in the United States for the last 5 1/2 years, but I might have to make a special trip.

On the bright side, by the time I get these games they should be fully debugged… right?

Not a chance on that.

So, why does your logo say Cairo?
And your handle say Mexico.........

I'm not with the IRS, I swear......

I live at Abu Hammad Airforce base now, which is 80km or so Northeast of Cairo, but when I first joined these forums I was working in Culiacan Mexico, I needed a name an since I am an unimaginative fellow...

Mexico any chance of you using a local business owner's address as a destination for the mail to target?

Surely you can find a businessman that will let you send a game to his mailing address safely.

My favourite Turn based game is almost impossible to pick (to many choices).

In not at all atypical warfare I choose Heroes of Might and Magic (IV is my current game version).

Civ 3 is almost the best game at stomping me if I blink.

ASL for card board small scale, A3R for grand scale.

Pick of the litter, ASL, but you already knew that:)

(by the way picking ASL is the same as picking Steel Panthers, so no I didn't avoid mentioning Steel panthers).

Don't laugh but Soldiers At War.... turn based squad level combat!

I loved this game which only runs on Win 98

here are a few pictures.

That's turn based?

Yes, and it plays a lot like the AH-Hasbro PC release of Squad Leader (which I have

). Its actually kind of fun. There used to be a Victory Games game called "Ambush"; Soldiers at War and Squad Leader (PC) are virtually the PC versions of that game.

Well I guess if it is 98 dependent, then I might as well just not bother worrying.

I have no intention of getting ANY game that forces me to even consider 98, that's for sure.

98 Sucks
