Version 7 provides a full historical range of fifteen games. Our range now spans an unbroken period of wargames from the Biblical Era through to the Fall of Baghdad and now also warfare in the near future, with the Multi-Domain Battlefield. Version 7 also provides a Grand Tactical module that allows approach marches to the battlefield. As before it continues to provide the ultimate in army, battle and campaign size with matching ease of use and flexibility. There is no limit on the number of units or officers in an army! Battles can have any number of sides and any number of armies on each side! This accomodates even the largest club campaign game. Version 7 also provides the enhanced Windows usability that comes with the full use of Microsoft Visual Studio. This allows greater ease of use and faster play without the PC intruding into the players awareness. Some of the standard features are:-

• Army and Officer Setup Module.
• Battle (Tactical) Module.
• Post-Battle Analysis Module.
• Grand Tactical Module.
• Campaign Module.
• New Solo Scenarios and Outcomes.
• Even wider range of weapons and troop types than before.
• Easy, familiar Windows Click & Point Navigation.
• No Limits to the Size of Armies, Battles and Campaigns.

The War-gaming Environment at Computer Strategies

Starting a Crimean wargame with my great wargaming buddy Emeritus Professor Alan Knight. I am holding a touch screen tablet computer which is an ideal size for wargaming. You can move around the table to get inputs and show outcomes to participants. No mouse or desk needed you just tap the screen wioth your finger. The game screens are designed to support this as well as conventional mouse usage.

The shot was taken a while ago in my wargaming shed. Everyone should have one! FYI - the tables are much bigger now.

Starting the battle with full wine glasses, as is only right and proper!
