WTF are you talking about ai?  it is not ai if you are controlling them.  If you move a squad across an open area (which is covered by a MG) to cover they will get eaten up becuase they just frakken ran through an open area with a 1300rpm mg42.

...im talking about when you give the ai a destination, and they take the "out in the open" path to it instead of staying behind the building like i wanted them too.

Uncommon Valor was a great game. Posted about it above.

 Uncommon Valor is pretty good. I loved the old SSi warship and carrier games on the C64. This is alot like them. A little too strategic, I prefer tactical, but its pretty good.

SSG made another carrier game thats pretty good, Carriers at War. It's been updated and re-released on Matrix Games website.

And if you're into wargames, you could do a lot worse than working your way through the Matrix catalog!

just got a new computer, wondering if anyone can name some good ww2 stradegy games.

i allready have company of heros in-mind. but is there any good pacific stradegy games with ship to ship engagements? etc.

all suggestions are welcome  :salute

Not WWII, but check out the Total War series.  Shogun 2 is about to be released.  Probably the best war-gaming series available, in my humble opinion.

Nobody mentioned them so I will.

Real wargames here (not just first person shooters).

I like the "Squad Battles" series myself.
