Combat Commander Series by GMT

[Domfluff]

Combat Commander is a fantastic series. A very playable game, and it does a fair job of simulation.

You can see how it's essentially Advanced Squad Leader + Up Front, and some of the design decisions seems as though they lean towards "how ASL did it", rather than trying to simulate from the ground up.

Games last about two hours, which is a perfect length of time, and it does a decent job with the subject matter.

From same designer, "Fighting Formations" follows the Panzergrenadier Division Grossdeutschland into (and out of!) the Eastern Front, at a significantly larger scale (Usually, one counter = 1 platoon, not 1 squad/team).

This has a similar feel, but uses more "euro" mechanics to represent command and control. Plenty of tanks, of course. It's a longer game, but of similar complexity.
