^Close.  It's Nobunaga's Ambition: Creation.  You're familiar with the Kessen series?  MD my respect for you has just gone up several levels!   :)

How come they don't publish Kessen of Nobunaga games in the US anymore?

Then you will also be happy to know that I have played several iterations of 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms.'  ;)

I did a lot of Nobunaga's Ambition and Romance of the Three Kingdoms back in the late 80s/early 90s. I even had an NES version of NA I believe.

[Greybriar]

I played Romance of the Three Kingdoms III and I may have played Nobunaga's Ambition II, but I'm not sure if I did or just tried to get a PC version of it. That's been over twenty years ago and KOEI games for the PC were hard for me to get my hands on. Those were very good games back in the day.

It's a shame that they don't anymore.  There certainly is a fairly large fanbase but evidently Koei has decided that the North American market is only good for the Dynasty Warrior clones.  There just doesn't seem to be enough of a market here to sell these strategy titles.  Many gamers therefor resort to importing console games or the japanese windows version of the pc games.  The Romance and Nobunaga series are available on PC just not here.  The last Kessen they made which they did sell here in North America was Kessen III for the PS2.  It wasn't a bad game either. 

And it's good to see that there are several other grogs here that enjoyed the old Romance and Nobunaga series back in the day.  I had them all for NES and SNES.   :)

Is it RPG? It looks cool but I'm on the 'never heard of it' side of the fence

I picked up Battles of Kursk - Southern Flank last night. My first JTS title...ever, which seems kinda odd.

I read the quick_start guide over my morning coffee. About to try my hand at the tutorial scenario.

Ugh.. they were crap then.. Airplane ruled!!!.. Hot Tuna!

You too? I have a great t-shit, 10 years old, unfortunately now full of holes.  It simply says "If you don't know Jorma you don't know Jack".

No it's a TBS set in the warring states period of Japan.  Same time period in other words as Shogun 2: Total War.

2 - 3 Panzer Battles Kursk South PBEM's.

2 Nepkhaevo PBEM's, both with me as the Axis.

A Panzer battalion from Totenkopf with 34 Panzer IV G's, 10 Panzer IV F1's and 24 Panzer III M's, together with about a battalion of infantry vs. a Guards Tank Brigade with 30 T 34's, 20 Churchills, 21 T-70's and a weak battalion of infantry support. Not an entirely even setup, but the Soviets can put up a fight.

In the first PBEM, I've lost 6 tanks, 5 to enemy fire (I believe 4 Panzer IV G's and 1 Panzer III M) and 1 Panzer III M to a breakdown. The Soviets have thus far lost 34 T-34's and Churchills.

The second PBEM has barely started.

Last time I saw them was about 20 years ago at The Paradise. Great show!
