Bovine Conspiracy: 90%
Holding the Corinth Canal against an ANZAC Brigade during the first scenario I played in Conquest of the Aegean, immediately showed me how well this game has been put together.

The Wargamer
Panther Games has done the best job of simulating operational warfare in the history of PC wargames. That’s an extreme statement, I know, and if you want to advance another contender, head for the Forum and take your shot

"An outstanding game [...] A must buy..." - 95%, Armchair General
