Hey, say what you will about Counterstrike but the Terrorists do win around half the time.
WW1/WW2 games are nostalgia porn. You get to pretend to be a fantasy version of your (great-) grandparents as they Beat The Bad Guys. But its always the same six famous battles on a loop with different interfaces and graphics. They always end the same way.
Even the old Axis&Allies boardgame lets you posit different strategies and scenarios to historical conflicts. Modern "historical" video games are just First Person Saving Private Ryan forever.
