I rather liked the Close Combat games, but I didn't play all of them I must admit.

THey have their quirks though

Yea, I do still love them until now, but in a different way. I play them mostly when I need the urge to shove around troops and fire wildly without any micro-management/detailed thinking. That is to say, Close Combat games are designed to have fast-paced gameplay (semi FPS, semi board-game). The end-result for the game's REAL-TIME mechanism is obvious, especially when it comes to commanding unit larger than 1 company; I should rely much on the DUMB AI controlling my troops.

yeah, when hte battles get too big, it gets unwieldy. I thought the original game hit it the best. The engine breaks down when you are trying to maneuver 15 different teams or vehicles
