on topic though, im shocked an horrified that Battletech didnt make the list. it might not be much on realism, and sure the art was stolen, but its one of the best tactical games ever writen. i tend to favor pre TR 2750 stuff, but it was all good. i think i still have some old beta test stuff in a box somewhere.

recently, i have had the chance to play a couple games from a small press company (i forget the name) on the 1939 war in finland. Blood on the Snow was the title of the first one, and there has been at least one sequel. they also have some games set in the pacific theatre, island combat and such. nice maps, chit based games, fast play. the rules are easy and effective, and the games are fairly true to history.
