Ok Steel Panthers: Main Battle Tanks is a free and downloadable turn-based game that has a massive libary of units and covers the modern world's land battles from 1950 to 2010, you can represent just about any battle on any place.

The map editor and battle generator is very complex, the game is old and has poor graphics but it is a great tool for representing tactical combat

I think i could make a sytstem where it can be used to clacuate land battles

it has a AI vs AI system where you make a map, choose the units, choose the battle situation, and then let the AI "battle it out", i think we could use this to do land outcomes

it has everything, infantry, helicopters, artillery support, air-support, naval bombardments, ampbious assaults, paradrops, anything you can think of

it also allows you to make your own units, weapons

everything is editable

When ancient Rome was near defeat,
the invincible Tenth Legion was raised:
they beat the barbarians on the battlefield
and Rome gained peace with honour again.
When the traitor, on September the eighth,
left the fatherland in infamy,
the Tenth Flotilla was raised from the sea
and it brought weapons at the cry for honour!

Oh our Tenth Flotilla,
you that mocked England,
you victorious on Alexandria,
Malta, Souda and Gibraltar,
you already victorious upon the sea,
now even on the dry land
you will win!

To you Italian ships, stolen from us
not in battle but by treason,
and to you, our prisoners and dead brothers,
we swear:
we swear that we'll came back,
let this be God's and the Flag's will.
We swear that we'll fight
until we obtain an honourable peace!

some shots of the game system:

 -

 -

the game is alomst 9 years old but the latest version was just released a week ago, quite a testiment to the staying power of this extremely capable engine

the tank armor and penetration system is very complex, taking into account ALOT of variables, including the newest jamming systems, ERA, etc...

hmmm i guess if a player wants to see a "scenario" they can download SP:MBT 1.5 (its about 40meg) and then i can send them the save game file and they can look over the battlefield

but they will need to have the game downloaded and tell me beforehand that they want me to save the game and upload it for em'

however still the admin / game mod should decide what the outcome is [Smile] He should just use the way the AI plays the battle as a base of how things should go, and then apply the factors which he things the game can't handle.
