Advanced Tactics
Advanced Tactics is the computer game that was made and developed by Victor Reikersz. It is a wargame that is easy to play, but very difficult to master. Advanced Tactics provides an editor and engine to allow a scenario designer to make a scenario to represent any era or time frame in history...or perhaps a fantasy setting if that is what one prefers. The game harkens back to the hex based paper and chit games that were so popular amongst professional and amatuer historians of the pre-computer days.
The commercial product is focused on the WWII era with it's tanks, infantry, flak units and ships of the line...even though other periods are possible as mentioned earlier. Multiplayer is possible as is overlaying a historical map and producing a map underneath this template within the editor. Vic, is well vested with his "work of love" and makes frequent updates. He has another production that he has recently announced and all wait in anticipation for it's release as well. This game was released at the end of 2007 and has a dedicated following.
Here are some links to some fine websites that support Advanced Tactics and will keep one updated for what he has on the horizon.
