If you've got an itch to scratch with Europe at the moment...
Men of War: Assault Squad 1 & 2
Fast paced highly tactical strategy game. Play as Americans, British, Germans, Russians and Japanese.
-
If you are interested in city building games. Check out the Tropico and Cities series. The latest Cities game is really good. But Tropico 4 is better then Tropico 5. The Anno series is ok but I've only played the most recent Sci-fi one.

City builders I find meh.
Get X much.
Use to get Y
Get more of X & Y to unlock D
Use D to build paltry defences/prevention against disaster
Harvest more
Make bigger buildings.I love empire builders like Civ but those games take so long.

Yep, I can understand that. The Tropico games introduce a lot of nice things into the genre but still pretty much that basic mechanic.

Do you like the Total War series? Total War: Shogun 2 and Medieval II Total War are really good.

Medieval II crashes on my Windows 10 machines for some reason but I clocked up so many hours.
Shogun 2, I skipped because apparently the empire building side was lessened, Medieval had lots of dynamics. Though I might be wrong.

No C&C Generals? WTF?

I haven't been able to make it work on my Windows 10 machine. Generals was my all time favorite C&C game and right up there as one of my favorite RTS games.
I was really disappointed when they canceled Generals 2.
-
That being said C&C Red Alert 3 was very good. C&C Tiberium Wars and Tiberium Twilight were decent but really odd.

I really enjoy Tropico. Especially Tropico 4.

I still haven't beaten anything but Tropico 3. I need to invest some time in it but I think I was stuck at a popular uprising mission in Tropico 4.

T3 was good, but T4 was a good improvement. I need to sit down and invest some time in T5.

I wanna get Red Alert 2 working again. Generals was not as good as RA 2 as something new, but still a really good one.

I never really liked Red Alert 2. I liked the story and upgrade system behind Generals a lot more. Especially when Zero Hour came out and introduced a ton of new units.

I liked that they gave all 3 factions a way of printing money in the late game.
US supply drops
Chinese hackers
GLA, black markets -

GLA, black marketsYep, that was a really fun feature. Plus the General abilities. I loved calling in air strikes and suicide bombers.

Company of Heroes I love as a game, It's how Zero Hour should have been (I don't play 2 just 1) because it takes the best of Zero Hour but gives each unit real stopping power.

I haven't played Company of Heroes in a long time. Was the original squad based like Company of Heroes 2 was or am I thinking of a different game?
-
I would not call either squad based. Squad based is more like XCOM. I call them control groups in an RTS, where you can blob key units.

Ok. I must be thinking of a different game. If you look at Dawn of War 2 you'll see that it is Squad based. That's what I mean.
