Check out the combination of Vassal for online playing and GMT Games. One addicting game is Combat Commander.

Agreed HOI III is the best SP & MP grand strategy WWII game on the market. HOI III is as detailed as you like. Many different user settings can allow a new user to hop right in the game. 1.3 Patch was a major add-on. Paradox patches there games forever it seems always tweaking them to make them as good as they can be. It is variable speed & pausable RTS. The speed is as slow as you want. No rush like RTS "strategy games"
Tactical try WWI (soon to be WWII) JUTLAND. The best naval tactical game on the market IMHO.

If you liked 688(I), get Dangerous Waters. Its princing is ridiculous by now, and it's 688(I) a thousand times better by the same guys at Sonalysts (although now you can operate Seawolves, Akulas, Kilos, Perries, SH-60 & Orions too!) The multiplayer is a killah.

I haven't bought a game since WITP or AE.
That Grigsby War in the East, once it's finished, looks tempting though.......

HPS Simulations has a series of games called Squad Battles. They play a little like a computer version of Avalon Hill's Squad Leader.

I downloaded the demo of Dangerous Waters. Looks good and the interface is exactly the same as Jane's 688(I), so easy to learn for me. I also ordered Silent Hunter 4, I found a $3 version on amazon [;)] $3?? I also downloaded steel panthers. I wanted to try some of the other Matrix games but the ones I'm interested in don't seem to have any demos, so a lot of them are going to get a pass I think. I will look for AARs and stuff. The Panther games especially looked good.
