Oooohhh... those used to be great... I can remember at least one from the 80's (from Microprose?) that was completely superior in implementation and gameplay to SHIII (compensating for differences in technologies available then and now, of course)... you could command a whole platoon of tanks, jump into any station you wanted (driver, gunner, commander,... well, almost any, the loader you couldn't do)... you could give commands to supporting troops, like infantry and other lesser armored vehicles... you could call in airstrickes from A-10s and Apache Helicopters... It came with a BOOK of a manual with very good explanations on everything from the composition of modern reactive armor to diagrams and specs on all current NATO and Soviet military equipment... tactics and strategy where discussed in the manual and even short lessons in history could be learned from reading the game manual...
OK, I'll stop now, I don't want to highjack this thread...
