I really haven't purchased any games apart from Pillars of Eternity in the last year.  I dont know if its because of lack of time or the current releases not really grabbing me.  That got me thinking what games would I buy this minute without reviews money no objection etc if they became available.  Its a surprisingly short list

Command Ops 3 (Eastern Front)
War in the East 2
CMANO 2.0 with ground combat
Another Witcher title (not super excited about the cybrepunk series)
Flashpoint Campaigns next version

"MUST" haves? None.
Developers have totally burned the idea of "must have" out of my psyche by their constant release of incomplete, buggy products. Now, I wait, sometimes a year or more, to see what's real and what's hot air hype.

The Division 2 - which, thankfully, is coming on Friday. :)

Apart from that, not a lot really.  I don't get particularly excited about up-and-coming games any more because I have such an insane number of games to play already.  I'm following a lot of games in early access on Steam though, and I am keeping an eye on Driftland: The Magic Revival and Empires of the Undergrowth in particular.

Age of Wonders: Planetfall and Field of Glory: Empires for starters.

Gosh those all sound great!  Sign me up!

nelmsm

Imperator Rome
Flashpoint Campaigns: Southern Storm
JTS's next WWI game if it makes it out this year
Grigsby's War in the East if it makes it out this year

Kushan

Imperator Rome
Flashpoint Campaigns: Southern Storm (is this actually still happening or has it been axed?)
CMANO v2.0 (I am in no way confirming it, if it actually exists, what might be included, etc.)
CMANO Desert Storm
The Division 2
F-14 for DCS
Prepar3d v5
Subnautica Below Zero
Whatever the Stellaris team is working on

List was longer then I originally thought. I was thinking it was going to be a quiet year and catching up on some current games.
PanzersEast: Have to think to myself.... will I play the first one by the Winter Sale?  Probably not, then I should remove Dragonfall
PanzersEast: but that is thinking too logically.... and Steam Sales are about ignoring Logic

I have 3:

Rule the Waves 2

War in the East 2

Command Ops 3


Nothing else is a "must have" for me.
A War of a Madman's Making - a text-based war planning and political survival RPG

It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge.  War endures.  As well ask men what they think of stone.  War was always here.  Before man was, war waited for him.  The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner.  That is the way it was and will be.  That way and not some other way.
- Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian


If they made nothing but WWII games, I'd be perfectly content.  Hypothetical matchups from alternate history 1980s, asymmetrical US-bashes-some-3rd world guerillas, or minor wars between Upper Bumblescum and outer Kaboomistan hold no appeal for me.

I guess it's sort of nice that the word "tactical" seems to refer to some kind of seriousness during your moments of mental clarity.
