Hi my name is matt, I'm a college student who is currently addicted to
warcraft3, as well as various MMORPG's. I was lucky enough growing up
to have a nerdy father(commodore 128 for t to start me playing avalon
hill war games and SSI/SSG computer games when i was very young, but
the non stop online action (with large strategic involvment) warcraft
has prevenented me from getting into long campaign games these days.
Some of my favories are : Battles of napoleon, carriers @ war, perfect
general, warlords 2, the AH battle of the build game.
I'm looking for advice in selecting a wargame for my father for his
birthday (and maybe for my own enjoyment as well ¤.¤ ). Currently
he is fruitlessly attempting to conquer one of the harder difficulty
levels on Civ III, and I can tell he is yearning for a true wargame.
The napoleonic era is his favorite, but any recommendations would be
great. I dont know if wargaming in the pre-tank era exists anymore.
Let me also say I am sickened by kids saying FPS's are wargames. I
spent about 2 hours looking for forums/sites on wargaming only for
Battlefield:w/e and Call of Duty type material. Or forums origanal for
true wargaming that have been taking over by those kinda gamers. I'm
prolly gonna go flame them tomorrow @ work.
Thanks for any input
