- I dont know what type of strategy games the c64 examples are, but the very
- best operational level game for any computer is Second Front from SSI.
- I didnt like Perfect General, but never played against another person (the
- AI really sucks on this one) Third Reich seems to be well programmed for
- an ST port, but the computer opponent is really bad on this one. If you
- are going to play against the computer, I suggest sticking with SSI games
- like Second Front, Red Lightning, Conflict Middle East, or (Oh how I
- hope they port it to the Amiga...) Conflict: Korea..
