I’ve been getting a bit more in strategy games, outside of real-time, and am keen to explore some of the DOS WW2 strategy games. I know strategy games and flight sims were both very popular, especially in the earlier years, so I’m hoping someone’s got some suggestions for me :)

For context - other WW2 strategy games I’m playing at the moment are Hearts of Iron IV, Blitzkireg 1 and Company of Heroes 2.

    Sounds intriguing, I’ll give it a go. The handful of tactics games I’ve played I enjoyed a lot so could be quite good.

    I am a (very casual) 40k fan and the Space Hulk poster always catches my eye but I’ve been put off by the fact that it’s a old strategy (feels hard to get into) but knowing it’s actually good makes it worth trying. Thanks for the recommendations yo.

      Oh I’m casual 40K as well. DOS Space Hulk needs a remake. The top down xcom style is ok, but the FPS dos tactical game oh my. Seeing movement in the dark ahead of you, what the heck was it, do I run, do I engage in combat etc… Wow.

      The demo that came with PC Format I played to death (one campaign), while I saved up for the full game.
