One inconsistency of Kharkov is the artillery: The game is mostly Brigade and battalion level, but the artillery is "independent" and attacks separately from the armor and infantry, which introduces some lack of realism and micro-management. Kohan and Civ4 were also very good, if you are not limited to WW2.

What's disappointing is the lack of user-created scenarios but that is due to the lack of a proper map-editor (HPS has the same issue, but since they have covered so many theaters, there are maps of almost any WWII theater you can think of already so it makes easier for users to create scenarios).Ĭommander Europe at War is not bad, and HOI3 would be the best if it were not so buggy, and Advanced Tactics is fast-moving, flexible and easy to play.The previous AtD was close to the best all-time hex-based turn-based game.The PzC series is excellent but requires a lot of micro-management. So for me, the Decisive Battles system comes on top.

SSG games are also graphically more pleasant to the eye, although user mods have done a lot to improve the graphical quality on the HPS side. It's fluidier, and does not bog you down into microdetails and micromanagement. Although HPS can be more detailed in terms of OOB, the SSG system is more refined and less tedious to play than HPS. To be fair, the two aren't exactly comparable since HPS is at the battalion/company level/2-hour turns while SSG is at the battalion/regiment level/one-day turn. Mind you, HPS Panzer Campaigns are a close second, since I do own and play almost ALL their games except the last one, Sealion 40. This system is in my opinion the best hex-based, IGOUGO wargame I have ever played. So, back to the question: is there a better hex-based system out there? That's like being a fan of Xbox FPS games and never having played a Call Of Duty!! I know I sound like a PR person for SSG, but seriously I'm astounded if there are strategy gamers out there who havent played at least one of the games in this series (unless, of course, its the money that's stopping them). Is there anyone out there who has played a Decisive Battles game in PBEM mode (the only way to truly appreciate the game) who knows of a better hex-based game? If there is, I'd really like to hear about it. WiTP might give you unparalleled realism and detail.īut for a sophisticated combat system made easy by a superb interface and design, nothing comes close for me (especially to Kharkov/Dnepre, the distillation of what must be a decade of design). TAOW might give you enormous flexibility and scenario range. What it has that other games lack is elegance. I've played my share of strategy games in my ever-lengthening existence, both board and computer based.īut one thing has been clear to me ever since my first PBEM game of Korsun Pocket several years ago: SSG's Decisive Battles system is by far an away the best designed system I have ever come across.
