Ground Control is one of my favourite of all the ones I've played as it 
got rid of the whole resource management side and instead stuck to you 
control you squads. The likes of TA always had the same flaw to me, as 
you progressed it became increasing hard to manage both your units and 
resources degenerating into a bit of a click fest.

My favourite of all though which I think can count as an RTS - Close 
Combat III. The only negative was as the Germans you could never win as 
the end scenario you slowly got ground down and the Russians increased 
until eventually you went through all the maps in reserve until you got 
to Berlin.
