Another one I'd strongly recommend is Archon. It's like a medieval fantasy twist on combat chess. You play turns on a board laid out like the classic but when it comes time to capture pieces the game switched to a combat mode where you have direct control over your unit and fight to the death. If I remember correctly you didn't heal between combat so you could do something foolish like send 3 pawns after a 'bishop' to eventually beat it. Each side had unique back line units as well.

Also - MULE. If you're not familiar with this one get familiar with it. It's widely considered one of the most significant and satisfying strategy games ever created, especially if you've got a few retrogaming friends who enjoy classic multiplayer action.


Going back to the SNES did either of you play Ogre Battle?
