Chariots of War

4000 years ago in the Cradle of Civilization, mighty Empires fought for water, resources and the arable land in the Fertile Crescent. Play as the Egyptians, the Babylonians, screaming Nubian warriors, or the Assyrians. Develop your country by producing commodities and selling them to your neighbors. Raise glorious armies and wage wars of conquest. Roll over the plains and seek victory in Chariots of War!

Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin

Squad-Level Eastern Front Combat

Despite the name, this is not a strategic Eastern Front game, but one at a tactical level: individual soldiers, tanks, and vehicles are modelled, with infantry ordered at the level of several-man groups, or by issuing orders to a squad as a whole. Hailed as one of the greatest wargames ever published, it received multiple game-of-the-year awards from the industry press.

It's quite a large game; the demo may only be 60 MB, but the full game clocks in at over a gig, because thousands of different unit types are modelled. Some 70 scenarios (most playable in an hour or less) simulate small-unit actions in terrain resembling that across the Eastern Front, from Romania to Finland--and units of the Axis minor allies, as well as the Germans and Russians, are included.

Combat Mission: Beyond Overlord

Squad-Level Western Front Combat

Hailed as a revolutionary advance in computer wargames when first published, Beyond Overlord is the first of the Combat Mission series, and now available at a mere ten bucks.

It simulates small-unit engagements on the Western Front following the invasion of France (which was "Operation Overlord" to the Allies). Individual soldiers, tanks, and vehicles are modelled, with infantry ordered at the level of several-man groups, or by issuing orders to a squad as a whole.
