Wars that should be a game?

[ajb924]

I couldn't word this too great, but here's what I mean.

It seems like the only war games around are the WWII or the not too distant future wars. Why aren't there any games on the Revolutionary War? Why is there only one game onn the Civil War. Sure, the weapons sucked, but it would be fun as hell! Run around with a musket and shoot people in the 1800's. I would buy it.

So, here's the question. What war do you think should be made into a game?

Fictional ones... that way it will be a surprise when the plot(and the entire war) twists

Vietnam would be interesting. Putting a moral dilema on the players actions (e.g. napalming civilians to flush out the enemy) would be good for story telling, etc. It doesn't necessarily have to be a moral-choice sort of game though - you just do what your ordered to do and horror at the results.

Someone, somewhere, is fully capable of ripping out the perfect World War One game; a stunning blend of strategy, shooting and atmosphere. There's been a few attempts, but nothing that really does justice to the scale and unique nature of the conflict.

Also the Korean War (let's just ignore Forgotten Conflict for now).

A game were you play as the ruthless Mongolian tyrant, Genghis Khan.
You replay some of his many events, for example the Mongol Jin war.

I want a war game thats like Civilization. Where you can be any army in history, and fight modern/past wars. Like fighting WWII as Genghis Khan while you teammate is American Revolutionaries, and you gotta team up to take down Nazis.

Desert Storm, the Iranian side of course! Basically you sit in a bunker and get bombed till four guy's with machine guns take you out.

Anything with muskets

The cold war. That would be epic as hell. You could run around the streets accusing people of being communists!

I'd like to play a napoleon, it would be interesting I think...
