The top 25 war strategy games (misc) of all time
From thecrankyhermit
Miscellaneous war strategy games, excluding the subgenres of 4x strategy and RTS. Includes but is not limited to turn-based wargames which fit the definition of 'war strategy' but isn't big enough to justify having individual top X lists, and also includes real time wargames that don't fit in the list of RTS's and grand strategy that doesn't fit in the list of 4x strategy. See GUTCH for information on this genre and its place on the genre hierarchy.
