well there seems to be the "pc games are truly dying" posts, since the release of the ps2 and whatnut. . . so i just wanted to be a beacon of light to those oppressed by the console hype, becuase you know, we all need it!!! anyway, i havent been much into grognard games the past few years though combat mission and a few close combats i liked a lot. . . i used to play a few grisby games on my old apple 2 so i'm kind of a semi "casual" wargamer if you can call it that. . .my point is that of all strategy genres the wargame is here to stay. . . even IF pc games do "die" there will always be the grognard games. etc ianh...@my-deja.com wrote: > Who said the PC strategy game genre was dying?
