I enjoy nowadays on the PC the WS&IM for PC form TAHGC, the 3R2 version from Avalon Hill, and Panthers in the Fog and the Caen games from the Close Combat Series from Matrix Games, along with Harpoon Deluxe for PC. Those I play regularly on my Win 10 computer now.
Rarely, very rarely, I play Fantasy General on my Win 10 as well, I kind of like it best from all of the 5 star "general" series of games.
I try to stay away from Gary Grigsby's War in Russia and Pacific War. I find them fascinating but even single turns eat up hours and hours of game time I typically lack nowadays. (Prefering to spend those game hours on ASL when I can).
guns of Ft Defiance was a good game for its time, but very dated and ended up obsolete within about a year and half of its release. (old school, used a tape recorder as an ersatz hard drive in those days).
I never tried any of the other Avalon Hill versions of wargames except 3R2. Did anyone ever try their Attack Sub, 5th Fleet, or Tanktics, or Dneiper River Line or midway Campaign computer games?
