Uh. Seems like peoples' definition of War Game varies wildly. Let's recap for continuity's sake:
Panzer General - war game
Battlefield Series - shooter elements mixed with strategy, but yes.
Gears of War - probably not. Would fall into standard FPS well before wargame.
Star Wars: Jedi Academy - Lulz. No.
Any Star Wars for that matter - Lulz. No.
Any RPG - Probably not. Would depend on the title, but I can't think of a single one that would qualify.
Let's get our genres straight here people. Wargames are overwhelmingly strategy games (turn-based or real-time), and not "popcorn" strategy like Warcraft, Worms, etc.. Shooters can be considered as such, but would need strategy elemtns to play a much more prevalent role than shooter elements (i.e. Battlefield as opposed to Halo).
