.....At the end of the last century, a truly ground breaking game for the computer came out called COMBAT MISSION. This game presented a 3D World War II battlefield that uses what the designers called we-go. See more about it here http://www.battlefront.com/index.htm

It has been noted elsewhere that some table top boardgames used something similar for their gameplay............

lancerrunolfsson,
You quoted me out of context my friend. In that paragraph (please see above,) I was only talking about COMBAT MISSION being the truly ground breaking game for the computer that came out at the end of the last century. You know. The 1900s. [:)] I used CM as an example to answer the gentleman's request to know how it worked. Please let us know if any of those earlier games have downloadable demos for him to try out.

With all due respect, I doubt that any of the earlier we-go computer games can even compare with CM. How many of them combined a 3D battlefield with the depth of gameplay that CM does?

Cheers,
Rick

Thanks. I had an idea it was something like that. I played a Civil War board game from Game Designers Workshop years a go that used a similar system. Again, thanks.
