Better late than never, The Wargamer’s Readers’ Choice voting for 2006 is over. As often happens, there were some surprises and some expectations fulfilled. 2006 saw great games released by all the major publishers in the wargaming industry including Battlefront, Shrapnel Games, HPS, Matrix Games and Paradox. Each company released games that made it a banner year for the hobby.

War and strategy games continue to be extremely popular with The Wargamer’s readers. Unfortunately, sims have continued with their relatively weak showing. Role-playing games saw some excellent single-player titles, but the real growth has been in MMORPGs, which allow players to interact with each other on a huge scale. Despite this growth there were relatively few new MMORPGs released.

This year voting was structured along the following categories:

  • Action
  • Strategy
  • Expansion Pack
  • Role-playing
  • Simulation
  • Wargame
  • Best Developer
  • Best Publisher
  • Game of the Year
