Description from the packaging:

So, you want to design your own wargames? Well, here's your big chance!
Have ever dreamed of designing your own wargames, to draw your own battlemaps and create soldiers and scenarios that are limited only by your imagination? Now you can with Wargame Construction Set.
Simple or advanced? Tactical or strategic? Whatever you want, you get!

As the name implies, this unique simulation lets you design and play a nearly limitless number of wargames that are as simple or complex as you desire. Start by drawing your map; place roads, rivers, bridges, woods, buildings and mines in any arrangement and scale you like. You can fight four levels of combat, from up-close-and-personal man-to-man engagements to large scale strategic campaigns. Endow your fighting men and machines with different attributes such as unit type, weapon type and firepower, movement and strength points.

Past, present or future? Reality or Fantasy? It's your choice!
This refreshingly different game gives you the unique opportunity to create battles from any period of history, from Ancient wars with spears and catapults to modern conflicts using advanced missiles and tanks. You can even suspend reality and engage in sword and sorcery fantasy adventures or science fiction battles.

You don't want to design wargames, just play them? No problem!
