you can download from below links, but there free ftp server so you may have to wait 30seconds.

The sim is a seriouse boardwargame, if you only play FPS dont bother downloading its for wargamers.

I would realy be interested on what windows systems it runs on? & how you think the modules should be?

Im looking for Maps & chits to put in the modules

WarTactical Now has a full graphical scenario editor/creator, dials are used to enter values for armor Strength and Ranges.

Ive made the cannon non-moveing for the computer.

I've Installed this program on WinXP seems to be perfect, Win98 in a virtual Machine and it runs ok no dought will run on an actual win98 machine, And I've installed on WinXP on VirtualBox and it runs ok, I've installed on win7 but I had a couple of crashes(not often but when you setup the first turn sometimes crashes 1 in 20) but I never had all my drivers upto date so Ill let you know, next Im going to try Vista.

Could you report on what machines you run it on?

ok Ive converted to blitzMax from blitzplus, didnt realise it was that easy to cross-it-over! whats good is B+ runs on win98 and Max runs on Win7 Vista & Linux.

I'v included a scenario creator/editor in this vwersion, and I've completely re-wrote the AI, seems to be fantastic now! if you like wargames snap it up

Tried to DL, web browser shot up instant attack messages from the sites you have them on.


Mainsworthy(Posted 2011) [#6]
I think protection software flags things to easy without actualy knowing what there blocking, Ive just tried and I get a popup blocked on my broweser from mediafire, but there is a fakeapp alert for sure on 4shared but I think it just pretends to read your computer. but thats it I cant put my files online without this trouble.

thanks dynamam youve ruined my day :) If I cant find a ftp server thats ok dont know what I can do.

i managed to get a game going by right-clicking 'load' but then how do you move units?

can i start it in windowed mode?

Hi slenkar, thanks for giving it a try! first-off the window mode I give-up on it was not fast enough for it. I think a game is Ready to Load by simply left-clicking Load, but if its been overwritten you can use the module installer "ChooseModule" then restart WarTactical & press Load, but Repeat-Right-clicking-Load after youve loaded a proper map, will give you many differrrent setups to try.(you could try the Scenario editor if your brave:)

You move by Left-clicking or LEFT/RIGHT keys to select your Troops , at the Moment Green is your Troops! once selected Make sure its not already moved it tells you on the dashboard, then a line from the unit to the mouse pointer appears(If your within the chits range & you havnt moved), if the Line is there you still have to make sure youve not moved it before! then Left-click destination where the Line allows(you will get further if you keep your troops with the HQs)

when your close to the enemy and a line is drawn from your selected unit to the enemy Right-click! to attack, when the confirm checkbox pops-up you can press LEFT/RIGHT for other targets that are close to where your attacking.

Yeah man, email away :)

can someone test my linux compiled version ? I only have an old 32bit suse11 and its very slow, but you should only test if you have 4GB RAM atleast and even better a dedicated graphics card, basicaly a games machine.

Ive dropped it here but the link wont last on the free server long
