WWII

The WWII games listed here are technical, detailed, and specialized to particular time periods or scenarios.

panzer
This is a fast-paced tactical Eastern Front game, similar to the board games on the subject. Features include strict line-of-sight (thus you can hide behind hills and trees), ranged fire, and a wide assortment of hardware. It's not really very accurate, and it's stretching Xconq to use it for a tactical game, but great fun anyway.
magnusvew
A large scenario based on a Panzerblitz(tm) board game scenario designed by Robert Harmon.
cherbourg, cobra, normandy
These are all battalion-level games using the base game ww2-bn. The cherbourg scenario covers the capture of Cherbourg in the Normany campaign, while cobra is a reenactment of Operation Cobra, and normandy is the whole invasion! While cherbourg is reasonably sized, the others are monster games that will need lots of memory and lots of time to play.
nw-europe
This game "zooms out" to the division level, being about the entire NW Europe campaign. Although you can open by landing in Normandy, you can try invading anywhere else if you like.
ww2-eur-42
This is a theater-level simulation of WWII in Europe, starting in January 1942. The Germans are on the ascendant everywhere, the Soviets hard-pressed, and the Americans only just getting involved. The game has a lot of sides; either AIs have to play them or you'll need to round up a bunch of players.
ww2-38, ww2-39, ww2-42
These are full global scenarios for advanced WWII. Can they really be played as games? Probably not -- but so what, we just want to scroll around and admire it all!
ww2s-eur-42, ww2s-42
WWII again, but using the unit types and terrain of the standard game, and with only two sides, Axis and Allies. It's not realistic enough for purists, but can certainly be exciting to play.
flattop
This game is a somewhat abstract version of tactical naval combat. You have a force of carriers and battleships, plus a contingent of smaller vessels, and a similar opposing force somewhere out there. Use your PBYs to find them, before their subs and destroyers get in to sink your capital ships.
coral-sea
This is the battle of the Coral Sea, both land and sea, at the operations level. Airplanes are simply part of carriers' combat abilities.
midway
The Battle of Midway.
