Well in a couple of months I should be getting a new gaming rig and with a couple of exeptions I have pretty much beat every WWII FPS out there that will run on my system. Until I get a new PC I've been going back to play a bunch of WWII games from different generes.
These mostly being Sims and RTS games. Ive kinda gotten more into RTS games lately as I started playing Blitzkrieg 2. Prior to that the only RTS games I had played though and beat the campaigns for where the origional Blitzkrieg, Warcraft III, a few custom maps/conquer the world campaigns in Rise of Nations, C&C Generals, and the General Patton Campaign in Empires: Dawn of the Modern World.
Anyways cruising gamespot and Ebay I found a bunch of killer WWII RTS games (cheap too between $3 and $10!) and got the idea that I will do something kinda cool. Im gonna get these games and play them historically...1939-1945 completeing the missions in each game in historical order.
For example, say I play the 1st battle of Kharkov in Axis and Allies, then say historically the next battle available is Stalingrad in Codename Panzers Phase One. I would play that next. Being the games I will be playing have campaigns on a historical timeline I can progress though several games at the same time fighting RTS battles in historical order jumping from game to game.
Anyways here is the list of games I will be trying to beat in this manner(in no specific order):
Desert Rats vs. Afrika Korps
Axis and Allies RTS
Codename Panzers Phase Two
To Serve and Command
Faces of War
Moscow to Berlin Red Seige
1944 Battle of the Bulge
Codename Panzers Phase One
Soldiers: Heroes of WWII
Blitzkreig 2
Blitzkreig 2 Liberation
Blitzkreig 2 Fall of the Reich
Sorry no Company of Heroes becuase I dont think my system specs are up to it at this time
Anyways this seems kinda like a fun Idea and should keep me busy gameing till I can afford my next system! :P
