    Could someone recommend some decent strategy style games for the DS?

    I'm thinking in the mode of Sid Meir's Civilisation (which I have on pre-order) or Age of Empires etc. Any other similar games out already?

    I think the two advance wars games are your best bet, very easy to get into but brilliantly designed and tactical. There's only limited resource management unfortunately.

    I heard good things about Anno 17** (not sure of the exact number :) ) It might be more up your street.

    Anno 1701. Fantastic game. Its similar to civilisation. Its a real time strategy game. You land on an island and build up a settlement. It is probably the best DS game ive played. I don't think many others on here have played it though.

    I love strategy games on the DS, it's such a good platform for it.

    I can't recommend the two advance wars games enough, and also Warhammer Squad Command, which is amazing.

    Will have to check out Anno 1701!

    +1 on what everyone has said about Advance Wars. They really are that good.

    Once you're done with them you can then hunt down the GBA versions ;)

    Thanks everyone, have ordered Anno for now, will def check out the advance wars games after that. Agree with what was said before, I think the DS should be a great platform for this style of game.
