All the possibilities for Wargaming yet no company has produced a game where troops could be moved as an army to invade a country and take the capital city by using a mouse pointer, Click on the on the objectives on the line of march your opponent plans to
intercept. Every say, 2 days March your pc will tell you of actions you must fight on the table. Enter casualties of the day¡¯s action and continue march or fall back.?
No one has written a thing like it in the 40 years since

?That brings back memories of using my Sinclair Spectrum for wargaming. I still have the book and the Spectrum in a cupboard somewhere. I wrote a program for WW2 desert warfare which was play tested at a local fair. Debugging it as we went. What
fun.
Kind regards

Sinclair Basic on a ZX81, stored on a C60 cassette, which stubbornly refused to load 90% of the time. A program to generate random D&D encounters. :)? It got much too big.

First Basic program I wrote was stored on a 5 3/4"?
And the last.
I was digging around in some old junk yesterday and came across a 3.5¡± floppy, which I showed to my 20 year old nephew. He at least didn¡¯t comment something along
the lines of ¨C ¡®cool, someone 3d printed the save icon¡¯.

I remember with the 5.25¡± ones you could get double duty out of them by clipping the case and turning them over. Not reliable but a damn sight better than tape
cassettes.

And the college was still showing the use of punch cards when I started there.
