Description from the packaging.

Enter a world of Battle Strategy you never dreamed possible. Re-enact ancient battles of Classic History. Make each conflict come to life on three-dimensional contoured landscapes. Do it all on the most sophisticated software imagined. This is it. The Universal Military Simulator.

Included are 5 pre-programmed historical battles: Gettysburg, Arbella, Hasting, Marston Moor and Waterloo. Each is programmed with the highest standard of accuracy and attention to detail. But that's not all...

You no longer have to settle for interior graphics, or worse, no graphics at all. Here, each battle is depicted on a unique three-dimensional grid system allowing you a view from almost any angle. Go from an overview or zoom in to an individual unit. What's more...

What would have happened if Napoleon and Wellington had changed sides? Or if King Harold had not come down from Senlac Hill? Would Robert E. Lee have succeeded against George Gordon Mead if he'd used Alexander the Great's strategic genius? The possibilities are infinite!

Hours and Hours of Play.
Five historical battles included in this one extraordinary game, plus the chance to create your own scenarios.

Landmark Technology.
