I'm not a war gamer (Steam is my favourite game these days) but I've played Maria and it is brilliant. I wish it could play within 90 minutes though.

Those of you who played Twilight Struggle might also know of a similar game called "1960: The Making of the President". First time I played that I was Kennedy and beat my opponent (Nixon). By one seat. Absolutely exciting!

We had a tradition of playing 1960 on election night. Great game, and complex enough to play it as 2v2. With running mates.

Sadly 1960 is out of print and pain to try and get a copy of.
