I'd like to see a Civil War Game based on the Napoleonic Total War System. The entire Civil war map broken into areas or zones for conquest....

And an updated version of the old Star General Game or updated version of Colonial Conquest

There was once a board game named Patrol!

There was once a computer game named Close Combat.

Take the major concepts of Patrol! but play it top-down-2D in continous time like Close Combat.

If you are not aware of the basic concept of Patrol! I can explain.

Patrol you say?Boy thats an oldie.I still have that board game as well as the Original Sniper! unpunched and its TSR rereleases.LOL Those were all great games for sure.

As for myself Id love to see a Squad Leader or ASL game done in the vietnam theme.Before AH kicked the bucket I was so looking forward to a Korean or Vietnam era version with the same SL/ASL mechanics but it never happened.

Yes Ive seen this game since its first announcement on the net.I just hope it spawns a huge load of expansions.Does it include chopper operations?I once read that it didnt at the time.I see a crashed helo counter on the link so maybe they are included now?The game sure does have promise.Be nice to see this game simulate large scale battles like Lz X-Ray or the battle of Wei eventually.I must admit I love large amounts of colorful counters with nice graphics of troops,weapons,and vechicles on them.

That was one of the greatest games I have ever played. I no longer have it though. Wish I could find it in a bargin bin.

Have you played it online? I remember a very good great online community for the game with a lot of fun and ladder game there.... I still own my boxed copy of it with the not so big but fantastic manual... it is the best!

No I never had a chance to play it online. If I remember correctly the AI was more than enough on the hard settings.

This is now in development by Gary Grisby and the team from 2by3games.

He is an independent developer and no publisher has been announced............

I'd like to see more games like Deus Ex 1. The game blended RPG and FPS and had a great story. I loved it so very much (I played it through about 8 times...)
