Hey guys:

I'm looking for a strategy sorta war game, without heavy graphics , something that a machine just making the AH2 cut could play.

I had a game way back, Midway , I think. You placed your ships, planes atc. then let the computer make it's move and dealt with the outcome. I'm looking for somethin like that.

Anyone know of any, it'd be appreciated.
TIA.

Civ III would work, as long as you turn off movement & animations half-way through a game. Once you've conquered a few countries & ethnically cleansed the cities (no joke, it's great for production when you uh.. re-staff with your own guys) and have a couple hundred units moving, your game speed takes a massive hit.

Then when you beat the living crap out of your computer when a man with an axe kills a modern tank... your FPS becomes much better.

Harpoon Classic 2002 Gold ... you can d/l full version and play GIUK unregistered

Or check out the Underdogs for some older strat games (I got a copy of a classic wargame Third Reich from there)

On a smaller scale there is

Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin

Combat Mission: Afrika Korps

Try the Close Combat series of games, real time but totally different than say command and conquer or warcraft.

Sweet. So I'm not the only person that's happened to.

Uncommon Valor is what you are looking for...

Or...kick it up a notch

SirLoin · « **Reply #12 on:** November 24, 2004, 08:25:29 PM »

Panzer General 2

As Curval said Uncommon Valor

or it's big brother War in the Pacific

For pure land combat I am a fan of Korsun Pocket (and it's expansion Across the Dnepr),
and they have new one in the series Battles in Normandy.

All are available from http://www.matrixgames.com

What yor looking for bumba is
WAR

War dosent affect fr at all.

And if your vid card can handle it try
52 pickup.
