For me it's WWI turn based aerial wargame. I'd been playing one online that is more or less a PBEM game online but I'd really like one I can play all the time solo. Long time ago SSI put one out called merely "Eagles" and I haven't seen anything like it since. If you know of something turn based and not an online java game please let me know as I really enjoyed the old C64 game of Eagles.

Not WWI, but there is the old standbys of; Achtung Spitfire, Over The Reich, and the semi-modern Flight Commander. All are turn-based aerial combat (if you find originals, I can help you to get the former two to run fine on at least XP). And of course there is always the original Eagles (the computer knockoff of AH's Richtofen's War[/i]), which runs fine under several different emulators. Not to mention the WWII based (computer knockoff of AH's Air Force) Computer Air Combat (& Data Disk for Apple Only), put out in the same era by the same company (although for you commies it was called Wings Of War).

Do you know a way to run AS and OtR outside of using a virtual PC? I've been trying for a while and couldn't figure it out. I have the original disks for both.

A WEGO-based, hex-based war game with a scenario editor, support for any screen resolution, and graphics that prioritise functionality and efficient display of information above eye candy and special effects.

I'd also vote turn-based aerial wargame.  One that involves maneuver like the old Big Time Software games but brand-shiny new. 

I did enjoy Hornet Leader but it's an abstracted solitaire tabletop.  I wanna turn & burn, it's been too long.  Multiplayer would be pretty fun, too, especially if it supported 4 or more players at once. 

Well what I would like to see is a major update of the Steel Panther series, a complete rebuild so to speak.

A strategic Seven Years War or Wars of German Unification game. A strategic Second Punic War game would also be appreciated.

Whats still missing you ask??! You know the answer to that one!; [:'(]
 

For me, a Strategic TURN/HEX BASED game for Lord of the Rings, along the lines of SPI's WAR FOR THE RING...

There's no way someone would do that. It would literally take forever to finish. Craziness!

A strategic game set during the Thirty Years´ War...

I strongly second the ideas for a turn-based tactical aerial wargame (WW1, WW2, I don´t care).

There actually was a strategic game based on the Second Punic War - must have been 15-20 years ago, old enough that it came on floppy disks at any rate. It wasn´t very complex, or really very good from today´s POV, but I still play it a lot. It was called "Hannibal" - not sure if it was ever published outside Germany. I think it would be a great idea to remake this with semi-modern technology.

Beyond that... Tin Soliders: Hannibal (inspired by the above), Tin Soldiers: Gustavus Adolphus (inspired by my other wish).

in depth sport management games with less emphasis on graphics and more emphasis on simulating the economic and strategic aspects. An F1 management game, or a football management one (the one actually played with 'foot' [:D] ) can work well. I think it is a good idea to diversify the focus by publishing non-war-themed strategy games while maintaining the Matrix style, i.e. less graphics more simulation...

I second The Thirty Years War.  I also would like a game based on the Hundred Years War.

I wonder if Frank Hunter is still considering a game based on The Franco-Prussian War? I would settle for that for the time being...

What's still missing, you ask??

Combined Arms for one..........

Sorry everyone, I just couldn't resist!! [:'(]

A Civil War/Napoleonic Wars hex based wargame that supports all resolutions with full map and scenario editors.

Why hex based? You have hex based tactical in Forge of Freedom and Crown of Glory. Play that. [:)]

Did I mention a turn based Roman/Greek age Empire builder with turn based tactical combat system or a 2nd manassas combat system included? [:D]
