- A very comprehensive list, but you missed one that I know of.
- Land based wargame, The perfect General. Having lots of fun playing it

- As long as this is about modem games....does anyone have any tricks and tips

- has a nasty habit of losing connection just as I'm crushing my opponent.
- Also, has anyone figured out a way to play these games over the net?
- I would like to increase my fodder pool :).
