Would anyone be willing to suggest some Squad Based Tactics games? (Any games like X-Com, Silent Storm, or Jagged Alliance.)
That's a tough one. In terms of quality games it is unfortunately a rather lacking genre, and you have already named the big ones.
-You have tried the 1.13 mod for JA2 already right?
-The Combat Mission series from Battlefront is neat. You can find the first game on GOG if you can accept with the abysmal graphics. Beyond that you will have to buy straight from Battlefront i.e. that wonderful company that still charges $30 for 10 year old games and then will charge you 5 bucks for a Win Vista/7 compatability patch on top of that and then oh yeah you have to use our shitty activation DRM too.
-There's a game called Incubation that may interest you. It's available on GOG in
a larger series pack of games called Battle Isle, which I have never played.
-If you are willing to delve into some really old stuff look into Julian Gollop's (creator of XCOM) older games like Laser Squad
-There is the Commandos series and its clones, but whether they qualify as 'Tactics' games is debatable...
-As a last resort you could try Fallout Tactics. Not very good IMO.
-Xenonauts is a very cool looking XCOM successor that is getting pretty close to release. I personally haven't tried it yet, but you may want to look into it.
there was some super hero squad tactics game, maybe from the 90s or early 2k's. was a sleeper, but the people that played it raved about it. I forget the name.
Freedom Force and its sequel Freedom Force vs. the 3rd Reich
