If you want pausable combat and a logistics focus, the Hearts of Iron games might be interesting to you. They’re pseudo-real-time in that things happen on an counter that ticks forward once per in-game hour of the day (so the results of two units fighting, a diplomatic message being sent, construction on a building), but you can speed up, slow down, or pause however you wish.

Considering how the world’s biggest uranium producer by far is Kazakhstan and Russia seems to be actively determined to tank Russian-Kazakh relations, I’m pretty sure they could acquire some
Seven hundred million dollars
The pervitin-to-paperwork ratio was just way off
Huh. Really liked these games when I was growing up, but had never looked into anything that came before Armageddon. That art style on the original and Director’s Cut makes me deeply uncomfortable
Still, cool way to celebrate the series
Adding a new member to NATO requires unanimous approval from the existing members, so strictly spaking Slovakia does have the influence. That said, I expect that in the same way thar the other countries were able to cajole and persuade Turkiye with things like suspending arms sales, and Slovakia would surely be easier to influence
