 I'm really fascinated by the asymmetry and themes of the COIN series, but the OP lists Andean Abyss as an intermediate game. I like to think I'm a pretty rules-savvy guy, but the most wargame-y thing I've played is Memoir '44 :sweatdrop: (and Combat Mission on the PC but obviously the programming handles everything complicated under the hood), should I hold off on COIN and dip my toes in something lighter first? If so, are there any lighter games goons recommend that strike the same kind of thematic chords? Same questions go for Combat Commander.

 Thanks for the opinions, it sounds like Combat Commander is the winner.
