good question, but tbh there's not a right or wrong answer to this type of question either i'm sorry to say, i own all of those mentioned, if you like them and will play them, buy them.

not sure anyone can offer advice on which is better or worse or have a different opinion on this either way, it's all about money and your time playing, each one has it's own merits in it there own rights.

On a recent computer, it is better to play the remakes that are good.

If we are nostalgic, we can play the good old games.

For Strategic Command, I think quite a lot of people recommend one of the base games for beginners. Is it WW1 or WW2? Easier to play, I think.
