Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
............
Errmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Are you asking for a specific game? Like, searching for one?

Well... there's Door Kickers, but I wouldn't really call it 'war based', more like 'Planning Mode of Rainbow Six: The Game'

I don't know if anything like this exists that's free...

http://store.steampowered.com/app/234310/  new free to play on steam. Not sure about it but it's turn based, war zone, etc.

it's actually pretty good. The store isn't pay to win, since everything can be ground out the hard way, but just offers a speedier path. It has a good bit of politics as well between the different factions. Will be interesting as this game unfolds.

Rising storm or something it was called I think?

Turn based squad tactics a-la X-com based in WW2, there were several games like that I think but  I can't recall the names.

Rising Storm was a mod/standalone thing for Red Orchestra 2.

You're thinking of Silent Storm

I reccomend it, it's pretty good. =D

You mean Silent Storm? Yeah, that's a great game.

Nope, but feel free to create one. I don't want to call for the entire forum to join yet until I can honestly say it's worth it. Going to play more tonight to be sure, and hopefully a couple of you will to so we can get a consensus.

Been playing some of March of War this evening (thanks for the link!) - seems fairly fun, but very rough around the edges still.  The worst of it is probably the constant 5-10 second freezes, and I mean constant.  It's sort of putting me in mind of a turn based version of the stalled/dead End of Nations, except with PvE and it looks like matches other than 1v1 require you to join a guild.

I went Shogun Empire, because flame tanks, ninjas, and hot air balloons (though I was tempted by the African Warlords with their war elephants).

I am not experiencing any of these freezes. I wonder if it's hardware related?

Dunno - game runs fine in terms of fps etc, it's just that every 10-20 seconds it freezes for 5-10 seconds (only during a match though, it's fine on the world map).  Seems to be a fairly common complaint - there's a few threads about it in the Steam forums.  Someone there reckoned there's a fix for it in the next update though, so fingers crossed.

It probably has something to do with theirservers.
