Perhaps you were a fan of the Panzer General series, or the broader General series of wargames from SSI back in the day, or maybe you just like wargames or turn based games. If any of those possibilities apply to you, check out People’s Tactics, a free, Win32 turn based strategy game. By default it’s a WWII game, though it’s extensible and there are several modifications available for it including a Lord of the Rings conversion. Simple, serviceable graphics and rock solid gameplay, with a lot of scenarios available for it as well.
