So I am interested in starting an AAR on one the following games. Just to gauge interest feel free to vote on which one you think is more interesting. Personally I am leaning towards El Alamein since I have not played it yet in PBEM, but since the game is larger the updates will take longer.

Just to provide some more information, here are the links to the games that seem the most likely to win. Overall I am surprised no one is interested in COTA as I always assumed it was very popular.

Some basic descriptions of the more popular games:
-SAW: Both sides usually have similar numbers of troops so its more about firepower and in some cases surprise. There is also plenty of toys to play with like artillery mines.
-WW: Finns are outnumbered by the Soviets but have higher morale. So as the Finns yo always feel desperate while as the Soviets you often need to accept high casualties in order to achieve victory.
-EA'42: The Allies are usually middle of the road troops while the Afrike Korps is of higher quality but the more numerous Italians usually have worse equipment and are poorer troops. I will probably play the battle of 1st Alamein so it should have plenty of maneuver. Not sure if I will play the Allies or Axis.

Ok its a tie. I will start the EA'42 one soon and than begin the SB:SAW one after I finish up my current scenario in that game.

Cheers,
Nikolai
