The Germans appear to be in what we call "a pickle."
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

The games I have listed in my have owned and played that were SPI games were casualties. They got thrown away by my step-dad when I left home in '83. Nine years later, when the relationship got mended, I asked him about the games (not knowing he threw them away),  I just about punched him in the face. I loved the SPI "monster" games and I had "just a few" of them back then....lol

Ouch.

And good to see Flashpoint: Golan, Arab-Israeli Wars, Central America and Vietnam in your list.  Demonstrative of heightened intelligence.
Oh, and you're not the only person I've seen rave about Panzer Command.  Feel like I missed something there.
A qiuck overview of PC. I wish they would have expanded it.

I dunno, some of those German units have some obscene attack and defense values.  Knowing TOAW they could probably herd a great deal of those Soviet Units into encirclements fairly easily.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I've never really gotten into TOAW (primarily because my CD of TOAW III has a huge gash in it and I've never bothered to "pirate" the files needed to actually play it), but it seems like the Germans in the first pic are mostly surrounded.

Decision Games came out with a WBTS 2nd Edition a few years ago, so they're available; you don't have to score an old SPI copy, since DC has the SPI rights.

I'm pretty sure everybody here will say VG's Civil War is the consensus pick.  Personally, I think it edges out WBTS as well, mainly because you can drill down and truly prioritize your actions on the specific theaters.  But WBTS has a production spiral and other kind of neato production and supply stuff.
