The WarGame Processor

WGP Icon

The War Game Processor does for Board War Gamers what the word processor did for secretaries! 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 or 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! Or maybe your opponent doesn't have the program? That's okay, because the War Game Processor can generate plain English turn summaries in text form! All you do is make your moves. That means you can dispense with the reams of paperwork involved with play by mail and do what you came to do in the first place: Play wargames!

Your game will be played on the screen, with a scrolling mapboard big enough to handle most popular games. Even the super-monster boardgames like the Europa series can use the War Game Processor! Units are moved by simply double-clicking on a stack, or you may select individual units from 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, clarification, description or just plain witticism which will appear when your opponent replays your moves! You can hide units more securely than you ever could with your cardboard games, and there's never a question of where a unit came from or how he got where he was, because there's a complete history contained in the replay!

The War Game Processor also 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 create the units. The editor features an easy point-and click interface for laying down hex images and drawing map details. 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. Graphics may be exported to standard windows bitmaps, allowing you to do additional editing using your favorite paint program!
