RE: [OT]

On a similar note, a *very* good recent game is Steel Beasts.  Which is
sort of a hybrid modern tank simulation/wargame.  You could command up
to
a company of tanks as a part of a battalion-sized unit.  It was actually
playtested by a bunch of ex-US Army tankers, and one of the people in
the
company that made it is an ex-Bundeswehr tanker. (The game simulates the
M1A1 and the Leopard 2A4)  The graphics are so-so for pure eye-candy,
but
the engine is awesome for displaying large terrain accurately. (Max of
something like 1600 km^2 at 5 m terrain resolution in their 3D engine,
really long and realistic horizon distance)
