Still waiting for a successor to Battle Isle 3 (No, Phase 4, where they turned the turn-based wargame into a pseudo-RTS does not count. Neither does Incubation, which turned it into a tactics game) and History Line...

Ooooof. RIP Blue Byte. Ngl, my only familiarity with the Battle Isle series was Andosia War lol. I don't even remember how I got a copy of the game but I actually wasn't a fan of it. It was frustrating to play but I can't remember the reason why off the top of my head. 

How do the original trilogy of games hold up and is there a way to play them still?

Graphically of course they are totally outdated, but the gameplay still holds up very well, especially on the third one, which is fully mouse-driven. 1 and History line are a bit more finicky by modern standards (best use the keyboard) and harder to plan ahead, but once you get used to the control schemes they're actually quite easy to use.

You can get the entire series (sans Andosia War, but including all the expansions as well as the spinoffs History Line and Incubation) on GOG in a nice bundle. And even more nice is that it's 75% off right now, so you can get the entire series for just $2.50 at the moment.

Edit: Here's a LP in English from Battle Isle 3 if you're interested:
