I don't play computer games very often but I did enjoy the close combat series Close combat: a bridge too far, close combat: russian front, close combat :invasion normandy, etc.
I like the small squads of troops and the aerial view of things.
Do they still make games of this type?
maybe something in a fantasy setting? but just fighting, not roleplaying or kingdom management.
any suggestions?
Thanks.
Have you tried any of the Combat Mission games?

It started life as computer ASL (much like Close Combat), but morphed into its own thing (much like Close Combat). It's quite fun if you ignore the fanboys.

I will check that out.
Thanks Ken.
No problem! You actually inspired me to dust off Barbarossa to Berlin for some fun quick battles tonight.
While I remain partial to Beyond Overlord, I'd go for one of the later releases as they have tweaked the engine quite a bit. CMBO is more primitive than the others on just about every level (but still a great game).
For fantasy games, I'm not aware of anything since the old Fantasy General, which should be available thru Underdogs or a similar site.
