Other games similar to CS

[Compass Rose]

I'm true, loyal CS player and I love it. Lately I've start looking for some other (similar?) strategy game. I'm playing CS for twelve years (nine on 'The Blitz') so it might be quite hard for me to find myself in other 'game engine'. I know that most of you have other games than CS. What you could suggest for old CS wargamer?

If you don't mind playing in 2D I highly suggest checking out some of John Tiller's HPS games http://www.hpssims.com/index.htm. They do also have 3D however, it may not be equal to the JTCS series.

There are also clubs for games found within the Early American Battles, Civil War Battles, and Napoleonic Battles. These clubs have been running for 10+ years.

The CCC http://www.wargame.ch/1776/index.html
The ACWGC http://www.wargame.ch/wc/acw/
The NWC http://www.wargame.ch/wc/nwc/Napann1.htm

As for WWII games, John Tiller Software http://johntillersoftware.com/index.html (Which sells Digital Downloads only) offers a Demo for Mius'43 which is a Panzer Campaigns game. It includes a PDF Guide which discuses a few aspects of the game series. The Demo can be found here: http://johntillersoftware.com/Demos.php or here at the SDC http://hist-sdc.com/spotlights/pzc_m43.html. You can easily look at some of the game documents that are included with the Demo.

John Tiller HPS games which are currently sold on CD only, can be found here http://www.hpssims.com/index.htm

BTW, this link found over at SDC will easily direct you to all of the different HPS series. http://hist-sdc.com/spotlights/index.html

JT Software and the JT HPS games all have super great tech support and guys who help design, oversee, and play test, are very active on the Blitz. So, if you have game questions, they will be answered!

As a final note, there are a lot of 3rd party unit art, and map mods. Examples include these:
