Any ideas? I'm mainly a console game player with a PS2 and DC but I'm looking for a good wargame.The only PC game I play is Highheat2002 and FOFootball.It doesn't have to be new and older classic would be ok also.My system is a modest 733MHz celeron with 64mb 11mb 3d video.Thanks.

for PC, I've heard excellent things about Shogun: Total War. It's only $20 at compuexpert.com as well. Not sure about the required specs though.

You should get the newest issue of PC Gamer. It has a demo of a game that is a toned down version of a war simulator that the military uses. I'm not a war gamer, so I haven't played it, but it sounded pretty cool to me.

Since your mainly a Console gamer, some people would disagree, but one of the best games I have ever played on the PlayStation is Medal of Honor & Medal of Honor Underground. The graphics are not mind blowing, but they are better then decent for what they are attempting. The AI is incredible and you get a real sense of war and your missions. I can only say DON's HESITATE when picking it up. Both are really awesome!

By "Wargame" I understand you to mean historically based games, such as The Operational Art of War I & II (which is great). For "strategy" games, Heroes of Might and Magic III, Kohan: Immortal Sovereigns, Warlords, Sacrifice and Age of Empires II + Conquistadors Expansion Pack are all great.

Ever play Steel Panthers? It's a WWII game based on the scale of single vehicles and squads. It came out quite some time ago, but has been redone and is now distributed free as Steel Panthers: World at War. The amount of detail in this game is amazing. I have been playing it daily for months now. It's a big download (around 400 MB), but well worth it.
