Rather late in the day, but here is games starting with F. I will get a proper page sorted when I can.

Fall of the third Reich?

A nice simulation game of real Endkampf. But understandably for those same reasons deeply frustrating. :lol: (You cannot win, you can only delay the inevitable defeat) For me one of the best examples when you should not model exactly real life to give some more game play options.

Back in the day I wondered how this game ever got off the drawing board in the state that it was in. With no win state what was the point in playing the game in the first place?

This might be the hardest choice so far, for me. Some good/classic games in there. It's a toss up between at least 3 at the moment.
