AB reminds me of SBP's map view, without the explicit cockpit tank simulation part. the tanking part SBP does better, the map view part AB does better, visually.

If you like this kind of strategy play, try Conquest of the Aegean. Icons always represent whole units, but the statistics part is many times more complex, and the unit management is much more detailed. The movement is not square but vector-controlled (no "fields"), and the AI is mean and evil. Gameplay is from map view only. The successor title Battle from the Bulge is being released soon.

AB in hex-field design is Steel Panthers: Main Battle Tank, available for free. Sticky with links in the tanksim forum.
