but both are very different from the others I mentioned. That broader definition would include games that are probably more likely to be played by folks here including CM: Strike Force (RT is the only way to play, IMHO), and Close Combat. A guess all are 'click-fests', particularly when played competitively, but that doesn't necessarily make them bad games. A broader one would include games that despense with the resource gathering bit and are rather more 'realistic', such as Company of Heroes. The most narrow would be the Dune 2 (which is where it started), Age of Empires and Starcraft style real-time gather resources and build units sort of game. There are simply multiple definitions, I think. They really should separate these types of turn based strategy and real time combat games from complete RTS games since there are quite a few of them out there now.

RTW for example was marketed as an RTS game, though it has turn based elements in the strategy portion of the game. The market normally determines what is an RTS game and what is turn based. RTS games do not have organized stoppage ala turn based games. RTS games impose faster than one can think events. Pre-built often used over and over templates of strategy (normally copied from online websites) that rarely changes from game to game. RTS games commonly use 'strategy templates' for playing them. They really are a class all their own since they don't follow the same rules of an RTS game that require constant fast clicking action/input and/or scrolling in a frantic manner.

These are not RTS games nor pure real time games.

Now there are some hybrids that are turn based with real time elements to the combat portion.
