Yeah i've got a spare CMBB disk floating around as backup in case I ever need it years from now, but hopefully by then there'll be a new super-duper game around that's even better than CM..:)
At the moment BB is my favourite, then AK, but I abandoned BO years ago (no cover arcs for one thing).
As for CMSF, i've had it a year but it never grabbed me much so I shelved it for a while til all the patches came out and have just reinstalled it and patched it up and am dabbling with it to see if it grabs me now.
It's not bad but the tracer and missiles and stuff whizz around unrealistically too fast and arcadey, which puts me off a bit.
Also it doesn't have the clean crisp feel to it that BB/AK have.
As for other tac games, I tried 'PC:Winter Storm' and 'PC:Kharkov', they're okay but for me CM is still king because of the clean crisp feel.
Wint Storm and Kharkov have a cluttered feel which I don't like; it'd help if there was a 'trees off' toggle so you can see what's in there, but there wasn't the last time I looked.
PS- I recently installed Steel Panthers again, I absolutely lurved it about 10 years ago but now it does nothing at all for me because the system is so unrealistic, each unit moves individually unlike CM where you can move in proper waves etc..
So sadly I'm hitting the SP uninstall button..
Regarding operational/strategic level games, I'm trying to get into Civilization4, but am going bananas having to juggle all the figures to improve crop yield, mining production, population growth etc, gosh I hate maths and my finger is starting to slowly drift towards the 'uninstall' button..
I'm getting FlightSimX tomorrow, at least you only have to push/pull the throttle and waggle the joystick to play flight sims..:)
I also keep hearing how good 'War in the Pacific' is, so I might check that out too
