Your favorite wargame can be played on computer, using a user friendly graphic interface. Positions can be saved to disk, as well as detailed histories of where each unit moved in the previous turn o
r phase. These can be sent e-mail to your opponent, who will be able to replay the turn, even seeing your comments as play unfolds! If your opponent doesn't have the program, the War Game Processor c
an generate plain English turn summaries in text form! All you do is make your moves. 

Your game will be played on the screen, with a scrolling mapboard big enough to handle most popular games. Units are moved by simply double-clicking on a stack, or you may select individual units fro
m within a stack, then double clicking on their destination! Hex by hex movement may be recorded by single clicking on interim points along the way! At any time, you can write a comment, clarificatio
n, description or just plain witticism which will appear when your opponent replays your moves!

The War Game Processor comes with an intuitive, easy to use editor, which allows you to generate modules for any game you like! YOU draw the map, YOU decide what terrain features look like, YOU creat
e the units. The editor features an easy point-and click interface for laying down hex images from a customizable image library. Units can be assigned individual names and 6 numeric values, and their
 visual representation is limited only by your artistic ability! Built in graphics editing tools allow you to draw new hexes and units, or alter those that come with the default libraries. Graphics t
emplates for hexes and units may be imported from and exported to standard IFF templates, allowing you to do additional editing using your favorite paint program!
