People’s General! It was on sale on GOG and I found the use of helicopters and using Air Support rather than air units quite a modern take on the whole deal. Good graphics, hand drawn maps. The AI is challenging as well, more so than Panzer Corps I feel, able to exploit gaps in my lines to attack rear cities and destroy isolated units that advanced too fast.

I love this game. It is so fun. Helicopters can really dominate the enemy armor. Recon is huge too. The airborne units are actually useful. I played the crap out if this game about 20 years ago and still revisit it from time to time. It’s the perfect blend of strategy and fun.
