Which one next?
Advance of the Reich
or
Eagles Strikes
I have Red Victory and I am slowly getting to understand the game mechanics. I still have a ways to go, but I am getting there
I am really liking the old "board" feel

RE: Which one next?
Hello
My advise would be to go with the one that interests you most. On the other hand, with Red Victory you already have loads of top quality Eastern Front action. So ES could be a pleasant diversion. Also, don't forget that both RV and ES have some really sweet graphic mods made by IronX (the one for RV works also in AotR, but only after some additional adjustments).

RE: Which one next?
I can second ES, it is probably my second favorite SB title next to RV (I cannot comment on AotR as I do not own that title).
Good luck finding the IronX mods these days, since he has asked the various sites to remove his mods. I am sure they are still out there somewhere, but the usual locations are now dry.

RE: Which one next?
Thanks for the replies guys!
I bought RV maybe 6 months ago and I grabbed the IronX mods before I had the game.
I installed them last night. MAN ARE these SWEET!
I am going to say what most of you guys already know: The SB series is awesome! The graphics are AH board style looking (but I am a former AH board gamer), but the inner mechanics of the game is mind blowing! I am love it! :wwiiinf:
I can't believe I got into this series late :(

RE: Which one next?
My 2 cents ES
Besides different theatre of war, Aotr original stock scenarios arent best for pbem.

Both have a ton of custom scenarios, the ES ASL conversions are very good. I would go with ES myself.

RE: Which one next?
Again, thanks for all the input!
I broke down and ordered both Advance of the Reich and Eagles Strikes
I hope to get good and maybe take on a few of you guys!

Richie, don't forget to take a look over at TF Echo-4. http://tfe4.wordpress.com/
You will find 3rd party scenarios, art mods, sound mods, Squad Battles Tactics Articles, etc.
Feel free to ask game and/or series questions when they come up.
Good Luck!
