WWII Turn Based Strategy

Traska · 08-14-2007, 10:59 PM

My SO and I are looking for a game that, frankly, mightn't even exist.

It's a turn-based strategy game, based in WWII (preferably all sides playable) where, instead of saying "I want to take my three tank units and four infantry units from hex 31H5 and move to hex 36H7, then move them and the artillery piece in hex 36H7 and move that all to hex 44J2, to attack the position therein", it's more of a Master Of Orion kind of thing: "I want to use tank assets and infantry assets, go here, take the position." A game where having the right generals and forces under your command is more important than actually knowing every minuscule detail about the battle at hand.

Concentrate on the war, instead of the battles. Is there any kind of game like that? Or am I just fantasizing?
