There is a wargame collection (distributed by SSI?) that is called something like "Definitive Wargame Collection." It has more than ten different wargames, including Tanks!, SSG games, and other. Since it retails for only $29, I was tempted to pick up a copy, but I'm worried that it may just be a bunch of crappy games. Any thoughts on this? Thanks! Tim

The SSG games in particular remain some of the finest wargames ever produced for the computer (also, quick and easy to play, realistic, etc.). But it. Scott Orr

So far SSI have not sent out the missing scenarios as they promised, and many people are feeling ripped off. I suggest you give it a miss on this principle alone. David.

Well if you have been following this newsgroup, you would know that NovaGames are sending out the extra scenarios that SSI said were on the CD. So to the person who first ask the question, buy the CD, fill out the card and you will get the added scenarios.

Thanks! Spend the $29, it will be the best $29 you ever spent. If you like wargames. Tanks alone is worth $29. Make sure you D/L the latest patch for this game. There are some crap games in it. But most are good to great games. Check for old messages in this newsgroup for a review of this CD. It goes into each game just about.
