Free online strategy or war game?

I'm looking for a computer/online based game that I can play now and again like I would online dominoes, for example. I play Mafia Wars via facebook, and have played Evony, but I'm looking more along the lines of a "board" game format, that doesn't require an ongoing commitment. This may be too old of a reference point; but I'd like something like an Avalon Hill or SPI game from the '70's. Something more involved than Risk, but without the addiction factor of Everquest.



Thanks for any suggestions.Free online strategy or war game?

I'd recommend giving WarGear a go (http://www.wargear.net).



It's a board gaming site with an engine based on Risk so you'll be familiar with the gameplay style. However it's been extended with a huge set of new rule options so designers can customize the way boards play - e.g. check the board called 'Castles' which uses the Capitals rule (if you capture a player's last Capital they are eliminated and you assimilate their units).



The site allows you to play public or private games against up to 16 players. You can take your turns either over a period of days or in real time (called 'lightning' mode). The player itself is pretty intuitive and runs in Flash.



There's also about 50 other game boards you can play on and it's completely free.Free online strategy or war game?
