I played Panzer General II for ages but got fed up of fighting the PC. Anyone got a copy and want to play on-line? Never have so could be fun. Anyone suggest another 2-D game along similar lines?
Close Combat is excellent and if I can dig out me copy of it I'll challenge any of yis to an aul game online!!
Have you guys ever tried Combat Mission? It's much more like a tabletop wargame, and not an arcade game; three versions now. Another on the way which may promise to be a WW2 version of RTW/MTWII in some respects: Combat Mission

Hey, I got a copy of that game Blitzkrieg. It's alot of fun. Never had anything like that when I was a kid. My friends kid had a bunch of files that were modifications of PGII that made the game sort of fun but nothing like Blitzkrieg. Enjoy
Pete, Blitzkrieg doesn't work now PC is on-line. I remember you had same problem once. I've downloaded the demo game from here. Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin http://www.battlefront.com/products/cmbb/cmbb.html Really enjoying it, wish I'd foundit before. I know Paul mentioned Combat Mission it months ago but did I listen? No. Recommended anyway and that's from just playing the tutorial game.
Get the full version Owen, its really worth it. Gerard, once I've finished basic training and Christmas is over I will. I see Paul has some scenarios on his site.http://battlefieldsww2.50megs.com/cmbb_scenarios.htm
Yes that Narva Scenario looks well worth it. After reading your posts about it I dug it out last night and had a great time storming a village during Operation Barbarossa!! The game certainly teaches you about using terrain and squads properly!
Just spent last 2 hours playing one of the demo scenarios. Green & conscript troops just would not advance! Eventually won after 28 turns!
Is combat mission free? Im looking at something that says source... but... i cant download anything on the computer i am currently on...

I remember seeing that game, the Germans mumble in Kraut and Run in place as they advance towards their objective. It seemed to me that there was a whole lot going on and it was hard to get people to go where you wanted them to....hmmm that's sounds familiar. I heard about a game called call of duty that sounded interesting but it seemed like you needed over 512 and 2.4 gigs with a cable connection or hang time would bore you to death. It's hard with little free time, if I get it, I like to go to the Range. You guys in England had Airsoft Tactical tournaments with night vision and Glow pellets that looked like fun.
