if your favorite tb, rtwp,or rts tactical battle game is not listed, let me know and I'll add it. Obviously I can't list ALL the great tactics games, there's too many.

I'm 12 and what is this
Heroes of Might and Magic III
Icewind Dale
Icewind Dale 2
Starcraft

There are only 6 legitimate choices in all honesty, and that's generous.Is this bait?
That's mainly because you mix strategy games with tactics. (Since both are abstractions from what really happens that's only natural with lots grey area between them)There are only 6 legitimate choices in all honesty, and that's generous.Is this bait?
I would put Steel Panthers but I can't put it above Panzer General and sequels, and vice versaThat's mainly because you mix strategy games with tactics.

How are games where you move stacks of thousands of men (HoM, Ultimate General) squad level tactics games?
Why not include Total Wars if those two former series are ok?
WHERE THE HELL ARE STEEL PANTHERS?
So you left operational level games out of your squad level tactics games poll.Also I discounted games where you control literally hundreds of units like War in the East
Then why not to include MoO(2), MoM, Eador or aforementioned Total Wars into poll? Those are obviously better games than some that were included.Strategy games are like Civ, EU 3 or HoI. There is no "battlefield" map where martial conflicts are resolved by units and unit tactics.
Strategy games are like Civ, EU 3, Vicky 2 or HoI. There is no "battlefield" "chess" map where martial conflicts are resolved by units and unit tactics.
RTS (where you gather resources and build buildings/units) is different genre from squad based tactics. Besides you can get better than Blizzard or Microsoft stuff in there too.Starcraft and Warcraft 3 are RTS landmarks.
Jason's definition of strategy here seems to "no direct control of combat" while tactics means "having direct control of combat."
