From a classic series, but III isn't well regarded for some reason. It's the only one with larger scale which imo makes it the best iteration. It's the perfect example of basic graphics overlaying a truly comprehensive mock up of real world accuracy. It's the one game that I can always come back to and have even more fun than last time because it's so dense that there's always more ways to improve, and the scenarios always play out in unique and memorable ways. As with all singe player strategy the AI isn't very smart but it's a testament to the complexity of the gameplay model and its adherence to real world tactics that it remains challenging even after years of gameplay. You have to actually know real world methods and procedure in order to play effectively. It's a real shame that it isn't more known, I'd love to play an email game with an actual person, but it would have to be someone already familiar with the game, unless they're willing to read the manual and learn military strategy.
