I plan to buy couple games from rebellion sale and I tend to buy two full priced games along when I buy from sales. I'm currently in need of turn based strategy fix and Fantasy Wars or Strategic Command: European Theater seem best choises from my wishlist.
I tend to prefer grand strategy over one front or scenario based campaign games so SC:E seem better choise but it seem simplistic on economy side as I also like to build infrastructure to help my war machine. Does game have any sort of diplomacy or is it historical on that front?
Mind I did like Fantasy General (and all other General series games) alot back in the day (FW tries to be spiritual successor does it not) but I tended to lose interest after few playthrus as battles became predictable. Does FW offer longer campaign and/or bigger/grander battles to offer more replay value (trying different strategies against same opponent with same army composition, formation and tactics does not offer replay value to me)?
Which one should I buy? It's shame GOG has not managed to get more turn based grand strategy games to it's catalog as those two are pretty much what I'm left to choose from (Generals series needs rest of the series and series sale as I own or have owned most of the games at some point).
I'll be away this weekend so decision will have to wait till monday (I probably won't even be able to check suggestions before then) so suggest away. Thanks in advance!
