About Wargame Construction Set
So, you want to design your own wargames? Well, here's your big chance!
Have you ever dreamed of designing your own wargames, to draw your own battle maps and create soldiers and scenarios that are limited only by your imagination? Now you can with Wargame Construction Set.
Simple or advanced? Tactical or strategic? Whatever you want, you get! As the name implies, this unique simulation lets you design and play a nearly limitless number of wargames that are as simple or complex as you desire. Start by drawing your map; place roads, rivers, bridges, woods, buildings and mines in any arrangement and scale you like. You can fight four levels of combat, from up-close-and-personal man-to-man engagements to large scale strategic campaigns. Endow your fighting men and machines with different attributes such as unit type, weapon type and firepower, movement and strength points.
Past, present or future? Reality or Fantasy? It's your choice! This refreshingly different game gives you the unique opportunity to create battles from any period of history, from Ancient wars with spears and catapults to modern conflicts using advanced missiles and tanks. You can even suspend reality and engage in sword and sorcery fantasy adventures or science fiction battles.
You don't want to design wargames, just play them? No problem! If you don't want to make up your own scenarios, don't worry. We've provided eight ready-to-play games (five solitaire, three 2-player), all of which can be modified to suit your liking.
We can go on forever about the incredible flexibility, features and challenges this exciting game has to offer, but why read when you can play it and dictate for yourself!

Battles unfold methodically, rewarding players who think several turns ahead rather than relying on brute force. Every movement across the map carries weight because terrain el…
