well im watching BoB again, and it got me all excited on WW2 action.
i was wondering if anyone knew any good strategy games like Hearts of Iron, where one commands armies instead of units.

There's always Microsoft's Close Combat series. I used to play it on my laptop while waiting in airports and stuff back in the day. It's a turn-based game.
Combat Mission, perhaps?

Four stage strategy from Yes, Minister:
Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.
Yes These titles are fantastic and you must give them a look. Download the demos and see if its to your liking.Originally Posted by [b

It has a very mature and friendly community much like Shoggie and Medieval who are very willing to help new guys so dont be afraid to ask questions about the game.
Its a pretty hardcore strategy game though. Completely relies on realism as its selling point, so no cheesey tactics or fantasy units here. But if you like this sort of thing then you will love this game. Ive played it for over two years now and i never get tired of it as there are so many mods and scenario editors out there.
Good luck

thx all, ill check em out. i tried blitzkrieg long time ago but the lack of a campaign map kinda ruined it for me.
Divine Wind, fantasy units? whos asking that? im specifically looking for a game during ww2 era, how the hell can there be fantasy units involved?. i even gave an example. argh.

Gotta be the Close Combat series, or Sudden Strike. Both are excellent.
Sorry ive never played Hearts of Iron so im not to sure what type of game it is.
I didnt mean fantasy unit persay. I meant for example all the units in this game are exactly how they were in WW2 and not how game companies hollywood up units to become things they are not. Like everyone thinking the tiger tank is invincable...well just give me a game at Combat Mission and ill show you a thing or too

misunderstanding then :)
anyways, check out hearts of iron. its a world conquest type game where instead of units you command armies. the best thing? you can play ANY COUNTRY...well almost any, atleast any country on the game and by god its hard.
edit: i tried Strat Com Europe Command and for some reason it wont run :(

I reccomend Close Combat(Microsoft and Activision), it's relatively realisitic but the strategy map is quite limited compared to TW games
Hey Divine WInd. I have all 3 combat mission games and have enjoyed each one. I have played since the first game came out and you right: The battlefront.com forums are very mature and MadMatt, JasonC and the other old timers are more than willing to help out a new player. I am currently playing 6 PBEM games of CMBB Combat Mission Barbarossa to Berlin and having a blast. :) If you are up for a game, let me know and I will post my email addy here for you to send a game too.
I have seen the future of TW MP and it is XBox Live!
I believe HoI is much like Victoria and EU2.

Does anyone know the name of the new game by the creators of Operation Flashpoint ? It's also a WW2 RTS.
Thanks for your help.
If you remember me from M:TW days add me on Steam, do mention your org name.

I'd be up for a Combat Mission PBEM if anyone wants one. I should probably warn you that I'm awful, however...
