Panzer General 2

Strategy and Wargaming Game from Strategic Simulations Inc. (SSI)

WW2 turn-based war-game. The game is played on hex-based map screens and features hundreds of authentic units types. The maps are much more detailed and more realistic in their appearance and the units are 3D. As with its predecessor, and the related games, this sequel features easy-to-master controls and simplified rules for fast-paced action. The main single-player consists of a choice of 5 dynamic campaigns (1 long and 4 mini) and 42 stand-alone scenarios. There is also a strong multi-player mode for up to 4 players by e-mail or over LAN or on-line games, as well as a scenario editor.

You can play a German, British Russian or US general. Both historically-based and hypothetical scenarios are included and the conflict takes place in a wide variety of locations, including Leningrad, Malta and Washington DC. Good video clips and briefings intersperse missions.
