Combat Mission! Play them. All of them. And then play them by email. All of them.

Also, maybe not quite the kind of game you're looking for, but the Hearts of Iron series from Paradox is downright legendary.

Yes, funny, you should mention it, I was just giving you a hard time in another thread about Paradox in general, but I consider HOI one of their best efforts. Still think CM series is head and shoulders above everything else I've played, probably cause I'm such a sucker for WEGO, I just think that's brilliant, but then I've been a sucker for intelligently designed turned based games dating all the way back to the grandfather of them all: X-Com.

P.S. Loved playing CM by email, getting the turn, firing it up to watch the minute of battle to see what transpired, then plotting your next minute and firing it off your opponent. Good times, good times.

Yep, arty raining down on your poor little troops, and all you can do is watch in horror. Or the tank that has moved into view of an opposing armor unit only to once again watch in horror as your tank fails to acquire the target as soon as the opposing tank, which then gets off the first shoot and scores a hit.

It was the anticipation of what happened in the minute of battle that makes the entire CM series just so compelling (well that, and the fact that before CM the whole freakin war game enterprise was made up of boring hexes!).
