Are there any strategy games that deal with the 2003 Iraq War?

I mean games with this one:

http://store.steampowered.com/app/580710/Afghanistan_11/

Being an OIF vet I have been itching for a game version of the conflict I can mess around with.

While not specifically about OIF, you could buy the Combat Mission: Shock Force bundle and download user created scenarios that deal with OIF stuff, like this scenario: http://www.thefewgoodmen.com/tsd3/c...orce/usmc-ramadi-iraq-relief-of-joker-3/

"The Operation Art of War 3" may be what you are looking for. Its a great game that has hundreds of scenarios ranging from WWI all the way to hypothetical future wars. More importantly there are two scenarios recreating OIF over at "Rugged Defense" that you can download and play. One is at the Company level and the other is at Brigade level.

Operation Art of War 3

The Rugged Defense

March to Baghdad: Decision at Tallil Air Base. Totally free.
http://www.armchairgeneral.com/marchtobaghdad

Road to Baghdad. NOT free. Not that good, either. Basically the USMC's version of Close Combat, reskinned and the name 'Baghdad' chucked on the box.
https://www.amazon.com/Road-Baghdad-PC/dp/B0001DB6LI

Operation Iraqi Freedom. Totally free, print & play downloadable war game. No idea if it is any good, but the price is right!
http://www.armchairgeneral.com/bonus-game-operation-iraqi-freedom.htm

Phantom Fury - The 2nd Battle for Fallujah. Solitaire board war game. Not free, but pretty well rated. I have not tried it, so cannot comment either way.

"Phantom Fury - The 2nd Battle for Fallujah" is a great game but can get pretty repetitive as you move from block to block. It is currently out of print and the publisher (Nuts!) has no plans on a reprint. Prices can be pretty steep if you can find you someone who will sell their copy. You can however play it using Vassal. You can download the Rules from Nuts! website.

Ah, and there is the Vasall Engine ( LINK ). It's a tool that brings scanned in Boardgames to the PC/Mac. There are a lot of Iraq war scenarios for download.

Combat Mission Afghanistan. There´s a demo too, so you can try it out and see if it will work on your system. It works just fine on my W-10x64 OS...
