"War in Flames" is gonna be the killer when it's finally released 4 years from now. lol

And yeah Broadsides was a lot of fun, shame I lost a bunch of the masts over the years, Dogfight and Broadsides got played the most though, I also had "Battle-Cry" the Civil War game by Milton Bradley, actually still have it in good shape, it didn't get played much and "Hit the Beach" lol, that was horrible. Glad I didn't buy that one.

Has anyone ever crafted a computer version of "Broadsides"?

That would translate well to a computer environment, with thundering guns and visuals of crashing masts. The old "Enter the Harbor" scenario could be expanded to include a variety of challenges (game editor included?) and you could have huge fleets to maneuver.

Not a Matrix level challenge, but Hasbro (or whoever owns the MB game rights) is missing the boat in not bringing this to the computer gaming market.

I'd like to put in another vote for Fighter Command, and also USAAF - both very simple games that lad no graphics to speak of at al but relied for tension upon seeing plans succeeed....or fail.

Great games - doesn't seem to be anything much like them around any more.

Has Panzer General been mentioned? Or Battle Isle?
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.

SSI - Warship and Battlecruiser - so much better than the HPS games out right now with more flexability ( I used to play them on my IPAQ with pocktdos ! )
 
GNBNA - just make it XP compatible with a big time scenario editor with DB back to 1898 for the armored cruisers to battlewagon age... [:D]

GNBNA seems to garner a lot of votes. Methinks this would be worth pursuing for possible Matrix acquisition. I never played Warship or Battlecruise so can't comment on those, but GNBNA would be quite attractive if updated and polished a bit. I could even see a version for modern naval combat. Yes, you would have to add a CIC screen for plotting long range attacks and intercepts, but imagine the fun of going up on the bridge and seeing that missile flying at you and hearing the close defense batteries spring into action! Imagine ordering a missile launch and watching the missiles flying off over the horizon. Imagine watching an air strike launching from the carrier you are escorting and so forth. I think it's got potential. Of course, if this could be added onto Harpoon IV?

A strategic level American Civil War game, similiar to "A House Divided", "The Civil War" by Victory Games, "For the People", or any other classic game covering the entire ACW.
 
I think there was some noise about using the engine from "GGWAW" to do this.

I would love to see Command HQ redone, but true to its roots and quick n' easy gameplay. That is the game that got me into PC gaming and many thousands of $$ later, here we are.
