I’ve been getting back into the classic Close Combat games, and they’re some of my very favorite of the wargame genre.
I’m curious what retrogaming’s favorites are. I’m not too particular on what constitutes a “wargame,” it could be anything from Final Fantasy Tactics to Steel Panthers.
To throw a couple more out, I really enjoyed Rome: Total War for the 4x strategy and the Combat Mission games for their simulation systems as well.
I was having a blast playing through Combined Arms recently. It’s a mod (or revamp) of OpenRA which provides a story an campaign that involves factions from all C&C and RA games, including the Scrin.
And best of all: Since it’s based on OpenRA it’s completely free. I highly recommend check8ng it out. It’s well balanced, it involves a cool story, and while I’m mostly a tiberian dawn kind of guy, I’m sure it’ll appeal to Red Alert fans as well.
Ever wanted to see how the mammoth tank fares against a tesla coil? Or a scrin carrier against a Yak? Well now you can try it.
