Dear WK,
You guys seem to be stuck on video. Every play D-Day or Battle of the Bulge from Avalon Hill? It is kind of nice not to be bound to the TV. Have you ever played with miniatures? How about my favorite for the last 22 year actually reenacting where you can smell the powder and feel the recoil.
Strike Swiftly,

Recently, I'd say Sniper Elite 3, a third person game, is worth a play through. The Levels are relatively open, giving you a few more options on how you complete them.

Enemy Front was absolutely terrible. The Graphics were very poor, boring missions and enemy AI, full of bugs, a bit let down for me.

Lastly, COH2: Ardennes Assault looks really good but I've yet to play it myself. 2015 also looks pretty barren for ww2 releases, although there are rumours that Call of Duty will return to it this year, and what happened to the Brothers in Arms series ?, what a shame Gearbox put that series on the back burner. Those were the best ww2 games for me.

Guadalcanal on Commodore C64.

It was surprisingly realistic and still easy to play. Last time I played it though was probably in the early 1990's.

Dino D-Day just for the sheer ridiculousness of dinosaur nazis.

But I love this free beta game called Heroes & Generals, definitely recommended.

In terms of first person shooter/shoot 'em up games, Call of Duty 2 is my personal favorite. Day of Defeat and the Red Orchestra series are also good if you are looking at multiplayer shooters. The Red Orchestra games are fairly challenging in that you don't benefit from aided aiming and if you are shot once, you'll die, but it's more realistic than the CoD games where you can take a lot of damage and regenerate health.

For more squad-based games, the Close Combat series done by Microsoft and redone by Matrix Games are personal favorites. They show their age and aren't very fancy to look at, but again, they're pretty realistic simulations of small arms combat set in WWII. The Bridge Too Far game set in Operation Market Garden is a personal favorite, as is the Eastern Front/Cross of Iron one. I also hear a lot of good things about the Combat Mission games set in WWII, although that is more at the regimental and battalion level. Combat Mission: Red Thunder takes place during Operation Bagration and it has decent graphics as well.

At the grand strategy level, that is, playing as entire countries with little NATO counters standing in for entire divisions, the Hearts of Iron series is classic. I would suggest skipping Hearts of Iron III and either waiting to see if Hearts of Iron IV is any good, or sticking with Hearts of Iron 2: Darkest Hour.

No Sudden-Strike lovers? I loved sudden strike I back then and the add on (sudden strike:forever). damn, loved the background music, the german voices ("sehr wohl Herr Oberst") and all was just brilliant. tough, it was a very very difficult game

im not into that 3D games regarding ww2. so sudden strike and maybe blitzkrieg
