[Consim-l] Christmas List?

[Thomas Cundiff]

Howdy Mike,

If you like Columbia's East Front, then I'd try East Front II, West Front 
II, and Euro Front II.

Since you seem (at least from that single game I take it) to like 
operational level WWII games, I might suggest COA's War Without End, Brute 
Force, and Mediterranean Front (all from the Struggle For Europe Series). 
This series has only one major MAJOR drawback.  Historian/Wargamers will 
find that the "generic" treatment of unit ID's in these games to be off 
putting.  It's rather like hoping for an advanced version of TRC and getting 
Axis and Allies instead in that you will not find units identified as 1st 
SS, 52nd Inf Div, etc. ... as they might have historically been named, but 
the games instead sport generic infantry and armor units.  For me that's a 
SEVERE problem.  I am a Historian/Wargamer and generic games just annoy me, 
especially when you put out so much money for a game and they do not in any 
way warn you that they've disassociated themselves from history in their 
advertisments.
