Never really been able to get on to well with stratagy games, but enjoy the Brother in arms games.

Recomend me a good WW2 stratagy game, prefrably with a little action in it and not to dry.

Codename Panzers is one of the better 'real time' strategy games I've played.
Steel Panthers World at War (SPWaW) is a free download (450 odd meg) overhead turn-based Strategy not unlike the old board games, probably is a bit dry if you're not into that stylee, good campaigns though and huge variety of vehicles.

The very best mind-meltingly complicated strategy I've played is 'Hearts of Iron; Doomsday' could be described as dry as F**k. but I find it quite frantic balancing Diplomacy, Industry, Intelligence, Technology and the battlefield.

My main rule of thumb with strategy games is if it makes any sense at all for the first couple of days then it's probably not going to be much cop in the long run, been playing HOI for ages and I still find new things to do.

I would also recommed HOI2. Its nothing short of brilliant. In Depth but very playable!

Combat Mission is the ultimate Strategy Game though IMHO. Its graphics are a little dated but I challenge you not to feel frustrated as you discover a Panther tank rolling up a road you sent infantry down!!

Company of Heroes is probably the best around at the moment.

I have the full game and last night just downloaded the patches. I'm now holding off a Russian with a small group of Fallschirmjager just outside Leningrad!!!

Once my Hearts of Iron SS Divisions and their French and British allies have completed their 1943 conquest of the USA and Japan I'll send you a few Panzer divisions, easy to escort 'em over with the mighty German Fleet with it's 30 'Aircraft carriers that will last 1000 years!'

I take it you mistyped and it isn't just the one russian?

If that's the case I should have some Nuclear weapons for you in... oooh the first ones ready... Leningrad you say?
Start digging.

Sudden Strike is good as well.
