Armored conflict, past and present - any way you want it!

Feeling a little creative? Try the random scenario generator. it allows you to create a custom map, choose one of three climates, pick opposing forces, and assign objectives for each combatant. Scenarios are created according to your specifications, and no two scenarios will ever be exactly alike.
Feeling incredibly creative? Then it’s the custom scenario editor for you. Imagine all the resources of the game under your control. The only limit to what you can create is your own imagination!

Faaaaarrrr out. This old classic is a long time fav, and to get it to work was always too much nerd skill needed for me.

A true classic. Dated graphics, obviously, but the gameplay is excellent! Runs flawlessly on my Windows 11.
