RTS will never quite match the daunting complexity of a hex-based wargame

UoC2 has an excellent collection of campaigns easily comparable to similar titles like Panzer General/Corps

The only good ones I can think of off the top of my head are shadow empire, hex of steel, advance tactics gold and second front (though the price on second front is absolutely not in match with the quality of the game even if the game itself is good)

They're not meant to, tho? RTS is the simple stuff - mine, produce, blow up. You can keep your semen meters in your sims.

all hexes are the same perfect size and the battlefield is divided perfectly into perfect hexes. The battlefield is perfectly uniform, entirely removing any and all complexity that comes with real life terrain differences, elevation, environmental factors like the weather turning flatlands into muddy puddles, etc
A hex-based game by definition has near zero complexity, not to mention the completely unrealistic and retarded turn-based slop aspect of it

What makes you think tile based games don't have elevation or line of sight?

because that elevation and line of sight is an abstract game mechanic that has nothing to do with complexity of real life terrain navigation
when you take binoculars and look across a field, do you see nearly everything up until the horizon, or does your sight end with a huge inexplicable wall of fog of war because everything beyond 5 hexes away is covered in magical gaming shadow?

Is this the one that's a glorified puzzle game where you have to win a certain way everytime

You just posted a puzzle game, dude. You could've posted War in the East or Shadow Empire. But no, you posted a simple ass game.
