Yeah. I like turn based wargames a LOT better than the real time strategy ones (Aside from maybe Harpoon, and Highway to the Reich and Conquest of the Agean). Those meatgrinder games where you build structures to build units and then just overrun the opponent with units (Warcraft, Command and Conquer, etc..) do nothing for me. I find them a bit too...arcade for my tastes. I was raised on those board wargames with the hexes and 100000000 cardboard counters all over the place and also historical miniatures with model scenery. You know.. I may have a copy of a couple of the "Close Combat" titles or at least the first one kicking around in my game closet. I'll have to go look.
