I have never played Close Combat, but I have played a fantastic and hugely tactical turn-based game called Steel Panthers. The tank ranges in SP are much better represented and the game attempts to fight historical campaigns and has like 1000’s of historical battles. Contrary to MoW, which seems to be all about “technology race” (you see a Tiger = you buy a Pershing), you would have to apply different tactics and use 3 or more Shermans or T-34s or a tank assault squad to hunt a Tiger down. You could appreciate the might of the Tiger and the bravery of Sherman tank commanders more. If you wanted a Pershing you would have to play a battle set in 1945.
So for me, eras is a big yes.
