What games are you playing ? For the past 2 weeks I have been addicted
to CC2 h2h-- fun but really, really difficult after playing the AI for over 8 yrs
. I also slam the CCV disk in about once a week for some Normandy action, and every so often play some CCIV as the German Kampfgruppe.
Sometimes I even play some Civilization Conquest and Silent Hunter II. So
what has your fancy at the moment???

I play MOH Spearhead/Breakthrough only when I cant find a CC player playing the same mod.

Pretty much just CC5, though I do throw down on some COD2 when I feel the need to watch blood splatter about.

[HistoryTeaches]

acctually modded cc5
some cod2
some cod:uo
some steam games like day of defeat and counter strike

I have a few games loaded on my system now, but game time varies depending on my fancy.

Games I have played over the past 6 months:

1. Close Combat 5 - just put on again a few weeks ago.
2. Hearts of Iron 2 - The best WWII grand strategy around.
3. Combat Mission Demos - haven't forked out the cash for the full versions yet.
4. Superpower II - excellent 3 tier grand strategy (not WWII) wish HoI2 could use for reference in many areas here.

***EDIT***
Had to include a game I bought and installed last night

Airborne Assault: Highway to the Reich

This game should prove very playable. So far it's living up to my expectations. It's an operational level strategy game base on.... yup Operations Market and Garden.

I've only played Tutorial #1 (of 2), but I've learned a lot about the game. The AI is superb! For both your troops and the opposition. For you, the AI will move and switch formations based upon the orders given and the parameters supplied.

The game DIRECTLY models several aspects of warfare that I haven't seen in other games. Such as order delays aren't just a blanket time to commence an order, it takes into many different accounts to model it.

Also, the way the game handles attacks was simply amazing! I sent a Bn to attack a fair sized town. 3 Inf and 1 mortar company. I defined the front, how I wanted the attack to progress, etc. As the assault progressed it was amazing to watch the companies switch from a movement column formation to a 3 abrest assault formation with the mortar company staying to the rear and providing support.

I wish you could battlefield command like you can in CC, but this is a start for next generation strategy / tactic games.

PS. I loaded a huge WWII online multiplayer game, I forget the name but it really shows serious promise for the future of strategy games. (PC only fits the bare minimums for game play, so I don't play much of all.)
