War in the Pacific AE....now can't get it to run...that's what I hate about computer games as compared to Board war games.

What you probably need to do is find the right switches for the game, especially if you are using Windows 10.

SPWAW or TOAW

I have had no problems in Windows 10, EXCEPT the graphical thing for 1920X1080. But then I read up on threads about it and got that fixed, too!

My favorite single player game (I play it single player, it can be used for more) would have to be To End All Wars. For some reason, I keep having to play it. And I'm REAL bad about not playing a game all the way through, but To End All Wars, I always play to the end, unless I'm having troubles with CTD, but that only happened when I was recording my playing of it.

TOAW

Three computer games have taken a vast sum of my time since 2000.

Civilization up to version V.
Heroes of Might and Magic up to version 3.
Steel Panthers in most of it's forms, mainly Mega Campaigns.

Honourable mention to Battle Academy for how much I have played vs another human.

If we are just measuring statistics, nothing comes close to time spent on Civ solo and vs other humans.

I think the most under loved title is Advanced Tactics.

I think the most complete package belongs to TOAW for strictly wargaming.

I think the most stupendously ill advised expenditure of my funds is World in Flames.

I think the most "I want to play it more, but just never do" is anything with Gary's name on it.

I'd have never become a computer wargamer without Steel Panthers though. It was my computer wargaming 'first kiss'

Distant Worlds + Forge of Freedom.

My favorite single player titie? On this website? Definitely Jennifer Lawrence.

A very nice choice!

I probably spent more time playing Steel Panthers World at War than any other Matrix title.

The SSG title Korsun Pocket got me to Matrix games. That was followed up by War in the Pacific in '04 and then Battles in Normandy, Battles in Italy and Battlefront.

Then came the Big 2 - WiTP-AE and WiTE. Since 2009/10 I have not been without an active game of both of these. I run a triple computer setup and there is always WiTP-AE on my left and WiTE on my right. In the centre usually are two other great Matrix games - CMNAO and Command Ops (although I play CO2 more often than CO these days, pity Panther left Matrix).

So in answer to the question, it would have to be Korsun Pocket because it was the first...

Cheers

My fav has been Decisive Campaigns Barbarossa but like a lot of relationships there is that love/ hate thing and the more I have loved DC:B, the more I have loathed it.

Not to hijack this thread but I would love to see a thread about “Your greatest disappointment of all your Matrix purchases.” That would be hard for me, not because there are so many candidates but so FEW.

Carry on...

Can't really say I'd have a favorite since they're so different of flavour and like them all the same....but if it comes to most time played that would be the Panzer Corps of which I've got the whole collection and I play it on a frequent basis since it's just sit down and play after a day of work.

Campaign Series, of course. [;)]

But if I had the time to play it (I don't), WITP:AE might compete for the top prize.

Single player tities are the best

Didn't you misspell a word there? It might need a third "t" and certain games are best with two players . . .

Single player might be ok...

... if you are allowed to watch?

For single player, just me vs. the AI, Distant Worlds Universe wins in a runaway.

The game I play the most is easily War in the Pacific: Admiral's Edition, but I rarely play it against the AI. PBEM is much more my preference.

GG's War In The West. I only play SP and I will play this game as long as I have hardware to run it or for as long as I live. Seriously, it's that good.

For me, Panzer Korps

Distant Worlds Universe
