Hey, what about Combat Mission:Shock Force?When it was first released it was pretty bad, but with latest patches its very fun and playable game.Great graphics, and includes PBEM.

EDIT:Don't get the base game directly from battlefront, as you can get the base game for very cheap if you look around the net.NWS online gaming store has it for just $13 bucks.I would recommend NWS for any game purchase.

Osprey,

Thanks, I forgot about Shock Force. I will check it out, and yes NWS is a good place to buy games.

Rabbitman,

Thanks for your input, having never played Shattered Union, I cannot form an opinion of your personality based on your lack of commitment to completing it.[;)]

Erik and Junk2drive, thanks for the suggestions.
I have Sword of the Stars, and if memory serves me correctly I don't think it has PBEM, and the RTS combat is the heart of the game in my opinion.

Sorry, didn't notice the PBEM requirement. I would agree with Age of Wonders (any of them) - CMSF is also quite a good game now, but it's not space or fantasy.

Given the two games, I would prefer AoW for it's tactical approach, which was, in my opinion, always superior to HoMM. Unfortunately for todays standard it lacks on eye candy as well.

Lutzow,

Thanks, I have emailed a list of games to my son, and it could take a few days for him to get back to me. I will post when he picks one.

Thanks again everyone, your help was much appreciated.

Koei Romance of the Three Kingdoms 11 is a great game on the waring period of the same name.
