Worries about graphics mean missing the system. The old SSI Battles of Napoleon (with extra scenarios around) better than what has come since. Files can be e-mailed as well. As far as it goes, the Gettysburg & other Civil war as good as anything as…
You'v got OPERATION BARBAROSSA published by Matrix. It is inspired by Panzer General. It is a turn based, Hex based, simple, attractive and challenging enough for a beginner. I think it is a good start. I have the game, played it and liked it. Kool…
You may know this already but Schwerpunkt's , the title, is a computor game about the entire Russian campaige of WW2. It does use hexes but I hope you have a large screen.
Well there is a web site that offers Hex game computer games and encompass most of the best company out there. It might help to have an overall point of view from one website:

Good Hunting!
Just an update, I have had to start a new website with the same games, as for some reason I cannot log in to edit the old site. The site itself still works, and you can still browse around and download, i just cant add any more to it....lol.
this is…
Absolute best for me is The Operational Art of War. I just love the system and the best part is you can create scenarios if you cannot find one you like.
You could also go to my little strategy site http://strategy.110mb.com/ where I keep a few hex based strategy games available for download. It is a small site kept for my own amusement and for the benefit of those looking for good strat games.
The g…
Try Panzer General, which is free to download from Abandonia of home of the underdogs. You will need to use Dosbox to run it tho. Excellent hex based, turn based strategy war game.
Any other help or questions to email me

If you buy NGP 85 you can download it from HPS website, Updates/Patches, Modern Campaigns. It becomes an extra scenario although you cannot play Fulda Gap on its own.
I am playing HPS North German Plain 85. I was also able to download Fulda Gap 85 free of charge so i'm playing the whole central front. The AI is ferocious ,and is always trying to encircle NATO units. Fulda is holding out well as units of 2nd Briga…
Stephen, I love all these game systems too. I will say I think OCS is the "holy grail" of operational-level simulation--with the stipulation that I rarely have time/space to play even one of the more simple titles (e.g., KOREA: THE FORGOTTEN WAR or…
Will wargaming migrate from Desktop Publishing (DTP) to true Freeware/Open Source designs? We see this with VALOR & VICTORY, a squad-level WWII tactical ground combat system that's been out on the internet since 2008. I have no idea how many people…
What's interesting is I am very eco friendly and huge on recycling. But a number of years ago Montgomery County until it was "outed" planned on having police check trash to see if people were throwing any recycleables....

Hi everyone I am a primary school teacher in the UK. For many years I taught in a special unit dealing with children with severe emotional and behavioral problems. I then worked briefly in child protection and am currently back teaching in a small r…
This group is for educators of all levels, whether or not they use wargames in the classroom. You could be a college professor, a high school teacher, or an aid in a grade school, and this group would be for you.
I remember when I first started really reading about the Russian front. All those tank battles and artillery barrages made me want to find the perfect Russian Front game. the first game I bought on the subject was Russian Front and I thought it was…
Dan is on the money...for the older, more discerning gamer (cough) I'm thinking less is more these days. It's easier to make a monster game than it is to distil the essence of a stuation down into a one map, playable in one sitting, easily explained…
Dan, one wishes that the old 2nd Edition of Avalon HIll's HITLER'S WAR would get a facelift and a reissue--that was a small, clean, and quick game of the ETO. Well, if anyone can do a small game on this theater, Victory Point Games can--you are righ…
