RE: What part about JTCS do you like best
I enjoy the experience of playing an "electronic" version of the old AH Panzerblitz / Panzer Leader board games. :)

I started my wargaming hobby way back when I was a teen with AH's War at Sea game. That was in the days when you manually wrote down your movement and attack orders. You then had to either consult the stock listings or use randomly generated "combat" number tables to resolve combat! A typical "snail mail" game could take months to complete! Eek

Then Talon Soft released their series and I was in heaven! Big Grin No more pushing around cardboard counters or worrying about kids, wife, or pets "upsetting" your battlegrounds! Electronic games could be completed in days, instead of weeks or months. Now, with the Matrix CS series, Jason and company took the original Talon Soft versions and brought the CS series to a new level!

Finally, what brings me back to CS is the great historical emphasis (units, nationalities, scenarios, etc.) and playability of this game system. CS is easy to learn, but difficult to master! :cool: I'm also an amateur historian and enjoy reading / studying about the WWII period.
