War gamers, a funny lot :)

You as for 3 choices, and half of them can't count :) Odd considering war gamers are obsessive with statistics normally.

3 choices includes variants. I didn't mention more than 3 because the challenge was to pick just 3 :)

Come on boys, I know you can do this :)

Its not easy for us boys, we get all flustered when a lady asks us to do something [:D]

3. Commander: Europe at War = 3 months then gave up on it.
2. Strategic Command 3 = one year and counting.
1. TOAW = 15 years and no end in sight.

In between board games and TOAW it would have been:
1. Avalon Hill's Third Reich
2. The V for Victory series
3. High Command

3 three only choices of top 3 three only digital games.

In other words, no blathering about games once you have mentioned three distinct titles ie a variant is a different choice and would be one of your 3 choices. So Civ 1 and 2 are two choices and not one choice. You can talk all about your three choices, but you have to stick with commenting on just the choice. No honourary mentions. No comparisons.

This is asking for a pretty impossible feat of memory, but on the grounds that no modern games will qualify because I have so many to chop and change between, then the games have to come from the earlier days of computing games when a new genre hit the market and for a long time there was no real competitor. So...

Elite (1984 - played on a BBC micro)
Civ 1

Steel panthers and World at War(the advanced version)
Uncommon Valor (Grand-daddy of the entire WITP game engine and series).

NOTE..While the purchase prices were high, they became mere pennies over the many years I have enjoyed playing them.
