The grogs over at UseNet's War-Historical newsgroup voted on their Wargame of the Year 2005.
It took a re-count of the votes, but the final result is that World at War came in on a very nice 3rd place earning the developers the badge below - wear it proudly

Final result :
1st place : Crown of Glory : 38 points
2nd place : Hearts of Iron 2 : 26 points
3rd place : Silent Hunter 3 and World at War : 24 points
