'Strategy I'

Hoi y`all, as here is what was considered as their-('S.P.I.') equivalent for beyond-'Blitzkreig'-? As noted, you could recreate most 'Battles'/'Campaigns' ranging from '350 B.C. to 1984 A.D.'-! It was a bit too ambitious for earlier 'tastes' in that modern designations/'icons' were used in ancient 'Scenarios'-? This did have the ability to 'fold-over' the 'map' and diminish the entire play surface, once done then.
Let's discuss: "Luck/Pluck of GROGnads-!-" Because, at the 'time' that I got this, I happened upon 2-copies in 2 separate incidents with BOTH of them being USD $10.00 apiece, while 1-copy was punched-apart, & the other wasn't-! My 'B.i.L' wanted one, and chose the punched-apart version so, that we could use their 'Map' with 'PRESTAGS' 'Armies' but it proved non-compatible for our purposes, too bad. We found this too-much '411'/Overloaded with everything included and never did ever play it. We were quite 'enamored' about the 'PRESTAGS'-icons & never did like these 'ones' version of ancient-'eras' kind. They might have produced an expansion to include better depictions for 'Ancient' forces than what they provided but, they didn't-? It seems that the 'stacking size' indication was of either '2'-sizes, with that being '1'-dot or '3'-? Maybe someone else can make improved 'graphics' for their obverse since that is blank-?

This reminds me of a computer game I had in the 90s. Universal War Simulator or some such title. Tries to do everything, but then everything feels a bit bland.

Hoi "Grant" as I recall one 'P.C.' game called "Art of War" that had generic 'Stick Men' troops and looked like 'Mannequins' battling one another-! I also remember the next big thing back then, was either "Silent Service" concerned about 'Sub OPS' in 'W.W.2', or "X-Files"-("X-Com") in a 'Base'-setting to uncover what 'weaponry' would destroy those. Sort of "Awful 'Things' from Outer Space" while attempting to amass enough '411' to counter them. Way back in 1986, I played "Arctic Fox" on an 'Amiga P.C.' and "Monopoly" as well, defeating '3'-A.I. opponents in the latter. "Dot"-(A.I.) didn't get 'Railroads' because she felt those were: 'icky'-?

Amiga! I started with an Apple II, but my Amiga 500 was my first true love.

Hoi "Grant" as initially I had a 2nd-hand 'Tandy 1000' with a 14-inch monitor, although some P.C.s did permit use of a compatible 'T V' as one-! You also had '5-1/4'-inch 'Floppy Disks' in multitudes to enable uploads for many 'Games', along with phone connection in order to: "get online"-! Shortly, we got them '3-1/2'-inch 'Diskettes' until today, where you have to 'Stream' from online while this 'Laptop' doesn't even have a 'DVD/CD-ROM-! Once I had 'XP' then I could record music CDs, until 'S.P.-1' & '2' completely destroyed that 'ability', while plenty of folks that 'got' music CDs from 'BMG', or others, HAD 'Rootkits' uploaded onto their P.C. of which then became ruined to become 'Door-stops' or worse-'Paperweights'-!

yes, my Apple II used 5.25 but my AMiga used the more solid 3.5. I used to have stacks of them.
