About

This game lets you design and play turn-based strategic battles. You can create scenarios between years 1846 and 1905. You have complete control over all the units, and can customize their firepower, movement points, strength, aggressiveness, etc.

Supports 1 or 2 players. Comes with pre-made scenarios and various campaigns (American civil war, Russo-Japanese War, Franco-Prussian,...).

The graphics win the respect the first two WCS (I and Tanks!), and now you can view your troops in the field.
