Early attempt almost gets it right

The Good
At the time of launch it was a remarkably serious attempt at a turn based wargame. Good editor extended the lifespan of the game.

The Bad
Idiotic unit stacking meant you couldn't see the labels identifying them leading to endless switching of views from isometric to 2D.

No naval or air units - hardly universal. Limited number of built in scenarios.

Dull appearance.

The Bottom Line
Interesting for historical reasons only, not really worth revisiting.
