American interested in historical wargames and military sims

[nathan.wailes]

Was huge into OFP in high school, now not so interested in infantry games like Arma/Squad (although I do enjoy Onward and want to try Ground Branch PVP), more interested in higher-level games or vehicle sims although I'm interested in platoon or company PVP in Arma.

Currently just about finished playing through Take Command: 2nd Manassas (the second game in the Scourge of War series), around 1/3 of the way through Jane's Fleet Command, and trying to learn Decisive Action (2001 wargame where you command a modern division). Finished the huey UN campaign in DCS (highly, highly recommend it) and want to maybe do another Huey campaign or try another vehicle, maybe the Mi-8.

I like playing CMx1 TCP/IP with all-random units/maps but I'm interested in trying other multiplayer experiences.

I have Steel Beasts Pro PE and want to play it more.

The games that I most want to get good at are:
- Command Ops 2
- Scourge of War series
- Graviteam Tactics
- CMx2 series

Hi. We used to have a Graviteam thread that had a link to a great How to Play manual for the Tunisia game. It is dated as Graviteam has changed the game some but it is a very useful guide. If you can't find it let me know, I have it on a hard drive somewhere ( I have 5 computers, it might take me a minute to find it...LOL)

thanks all for the welcome!

@HOA_KSOP: Thanks for the reference, I already have a planned sequence of campaigns / DLCs to go through to gradually ramp up the complexity, I just need to set aside the time to start going through them. And I feel like I'll benefit from focusing on one or two games at a time so I don't forget how to play, so I'm waiting until I finish Take Command before I pick up another game (and I'm probably going to focus on Decisive Action for a bit before I take on Graviteam Tactics).
