Oh maaaaaan Shining Force II is pretty fantastic if we're talking strategy war game, because it did so much great stuff that people still can't get right. but when it comes to Tactics (which is basically the same genre, but hey) I really like Jeanne D'arc, because it was super smooth, and takes a lot of the dumb guesswork out of things like crafting, while also streamlining the battle process by giving your super powered units extra turns (without making it too easy).
But Military Madness was actually my first tactics game ever. I don't have the JP version, so if someone has neither, they should win instead of me certainly. But this was a special game for me, because it got my dad into video games. The turbo was the first console he really started to enjoy on its own terms, though he bought me an Atari 2600 when I was younger. I would go to play something, and find suddenly that he was on the last map, which I hadn't even gotten to yet!
He even played through as the Axis using a cheat code I discovered (since he liked it so much), but said it wasn't as fun, since it was too heavily weighted one way or the other...
Anyway! Military Madness is one of my favorites in this genre, and I actually like it better than Famicom Wars, which it's essentially based on!!
the end :3
