Posts: 6565Joined: 6/29/2002Status: offlineClash of Steel was a good design that became excellent through a revision called the 'Future Edition.' It is more of a standard hex-and-unit based wargame than 3R and emphasizes the role of HQs in combat operations. Its weak point is its modeling of naval warfare. Political concerns, though simple in presentation, are a noteworthy inclusion in a design as old as this one.Third Reich was a design unlike any other, and that probably accounts for its popularity and the number of spinoffs since. It abstracted combat into a number of very fluid game mechanics that allowed you to conduct far-flung operations in what seemed to be a short period of time - until you realized that each turn was three months long.
It is really unfair to compare this design to any other, as it addressed a specific subject in a unique way.The old computer version is still fun to play as a beer-and-pretzels game - if you can get it to run on your system.

Some rules not implemented, e.g. Some rules implemementation partially incorrect, e.g.

Supply through a port.3. Phone suite cti client serial solution download. AI totally unable to use the Offensive Option in a meaningful way (break through and encircle).A remake of 3rd Reich Pc with all rules as written and decent AI is the only game I would pay 100$ for.

If you have that game, have a lookThe download link is not valid anymore, I am sure Steve (author of the 3R-Axis scenario) has a new site somewhere.And there's my Advanced Third Reich mod available now as part of the free Strategic Command Community Pack.Both the 1939 Campaign and 1941 scenario are included, with challenging AI scripted for both sides. Unless/until another computer version of 3R/A3R is ever made, please consider this mod as an alternative.

I like the high level of abstraction of the John Prados original, because it keeps the game so playable and the focus on the important (Air/Armour/Economy).I agree! I still occasionally play the old Third Reich PC game on DOSBox, warts and all; it's a great game system and deserves a remake.I tried to be faithful to the original with my A3R mod. Strategic Command does not allow unit stacking or provide for 3-month seasonal turns. So I pretty much doubled the map scale and went with monthly (28-day) turns. If anything, this provides some additional operational level richness without compromising the grand strategy flavor. I've grown to like it. Other than that and some other differences with the Strategic Command game mechanics, the force pools and BRP economics are still faithful to the original.
I did have to split the air fleets into separate fighters and tactical bombers, but again the numbers are still the same; e.g. Germany has 6 fighters and 6 tac bombers, and these can be devastating when concentrated but it's still a big map!Anyways, I wish there would be a remake. Perchance to dream.
