Operational level war gaming. - Page 3

Uncommon Valor is quite obsolete, as far as I know. It preceeded even the original WitP. I have Admiral's Edition and it's a very good game, though more complex than most.

The Operation Art of War III is IMO one of the best wargames in existence, especially for all the variety in scenarios.

Should hopefully be able to by BftB by August, I hope...

Hmm, it's between "The Operational Art Of War III" and "War In The Pacific Admiral's Edition" at the moment.

Any other titles at Matrix that you recommend?

Well, Crown of Glory: Emperor's Edition is a bloody good game about the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars (Started an AAR of it in the General Games forum a while ago, never got around to finishing the 2nd turn though

).

They have a bunch of AGEOD's old games (Wars in America, Napoleon's Campaigns, American Civil War), but they are published by Paradox now AFAIK. I have only the newer Rise of Prussia (Which was published after Paradox bought them, so not Matrix Games), but I heard they were quite good.

Then you obviously have the other games in the Airborne Assault series, Highway to the Reich and Conquest of the Aegean, which are very good.

They have a few other games that look intersting, but I haven't had a chance to play them yet.

Cool, thank you.

I have an order on "Birth Of America II (Wars In America)" that's quite cheap ( 9€ ) but it's been almost 2 months since I ordered it. Seems to be scarce.

BFTB's demo is out now. Features a decently sized if somewhat one-sided scenario with SP and MP.
