Fed up of Football Manager and got a bit of time on my hands. What Strategy war game do folk recommend for the PC? I had Close Combat years ago and wondered if there was owt similar out there. Any ideas/recommendations?

The Combat Mission games are great, probably graphically dated now, but great tactical fun and not a click fest like some of the strategy genere.

Not played it myself but I believe 'The East India Co' is epic

Dawn of War is pretty good, Dark Crusade especially.

Don't buy Rome TW it's pants. By far the best was Shogun but that's nearly 10 years old now. Medieval II TW is ok and ETW looks like it's shaping up but a bit too early to tell. Napoleon TW is the next in line.

It supposed to help your brain according to the BBC. So it must be true.

Can't agree Rome TW is great fun.

Sorry but not a War Strat game but World of Warcraft is too addictive and fun (even at my age)

Steer clear of Alliance though its all 14 year old kids (in mentallity..........lol)
