Hope you enjoy them and thanks for looking at my work.

In a phrase, GTA the Roguelike with obsessive creativity.

Armoured Brigade Is also a good wargame in the sense that you go in with just your units and can't recruit mid game like wargame. No idea about close combat however.

For PC quite like R.U.S.E., that can be considered for quite large scale, and Company of Heroes is good for small scale.

Also, something quite large scale but very cheap is 6mm wargaming, especially things like Heroics and Ros minis and the like (~$0.60 a model tank).

Blitzkrieg commander is excellent and played for about 2 hours in small scale games, the overall cost for the rulebook is £12 as a pdf although you can get it elsewhere.

It costed me overall about £80 to build 2 large armies(~2500pts each which is about 20 vehicles and a lot of infantry and support) with the overpriced games workshop paints and brushes and a print of the rulebook, which is clearly far cheaper than with say Warhammer Fantasy/40k. Although this game is generally more suited to higher scale engagements there are other rulesets for smaller scale(Bolt action springs to mind).

More of a lean toward tabletop I hope, because there is a lot of discussion of computer wargames already.

Could try DBA or Blitzkrieg/Cold war commander.

I'm looking forward to Ultimate Generals

That looks interesting, may check it out when it is out.

There were certainly seperate threads (the Warhammer 40k one springs to mind). However, I couldn't find a universal thread.

Sad thing is that the most obvious stuff is very expensive(really - $40 for 10 space marines?) however part of the reason I set this up is to provide information to those who are interested but can't find an affordable way of doing it. For example, if you can get over the tiny size of infantry, 6mm is cheap and brilliant.

I noticed that Bay 12 doesn't have a real Wargaming thread on the whole site(unless the search is lying to me), and I thought that I should set up one as I love Wargaming, and I am quite sure that some people here enjoy it too, so I thought it may be a good idea to establish this thread.

So, what do you guys play?

I love mount and Blade warband(Heck I even played WFAS), as for Wargame I am running Intel HD 3000 and unfortunately cannot run it, although it has really been getting my attention lately on steam.

I am looking for a game that can simulate war on a very large scale down to small scale without covering multiple fronts across continents a la HOI or TW, but something sufficiently large scale that It can represent Divisions without becoming too simplistic like HOI in terms of combat, and small enough scale it can represent platoons or similar unit sizes.

If you have Rome Total war cannot recommend enough Europa Barbaronum, which is a more realistic ancient setting. Also Bulletstorm is fun on Xbox if you can find it for £3 like I did.

Gotta love the new consoles driving down game prices, got Ghost Recon advanced warfighter 1 and 2 for £3.

That is interesting, I assumed that since there are more cores in the CPU it may become more sustainable as more programs become multithreaded, and TBH I didn't consider Nvidia.

Won't that drive up the motherboard price if I use LGA 2011?
