Carnage&GloryII
is an easy to learn and easy to play computer moderated rule system suitable
for both the novice and experienced player. There are no complex charts or
book-keeping and accounting required as Carnage&GloryII maintains
all the relevant information regarding the status of the combat units
and general officers within the system database. Complex concepts such
as variable weather and ground conditions, heat exhaustion, ammunition
usage, mental and physical fatigue and variable morale are easily
accommodated by the system. By eliminating the emphasis on dice and
charts typical of more traditional wargames, the sole focus of the game
becomes the tactical movement and engagement of the forces under your
command. The result is a thoroughly enjoyable and stimulating wargame
experience. |

Development of the
original Carnage and Glory DOS system version was begun in 1987, and the various systems have
been commercially available since 1991. With the release of the new Windows
version in 2001 the system has reached new heights of sophistication, playability
and user friendliness. |

Carnage&GloryII
requires a Windows based computer running Windows operating system, a
minimum of 10Mb hard disk space. Both Windows Vista and Windows 7 are
supported by the system.. |

Carnage&GloryII
is suitable for all figure and ground scales, with no requirement for
rebasing of figures. This is possible because the system 'thinks' in terms
of real men and real distances, not numbers of figures or distances measured
in inches or millimeters.
Typical ground scales are 1" = 25 paces [1 mm = 1
pace] for 20 - 40 mm figures, and 1" = 50 paces [1 mm = 2 paces] for 6 - 18
mm figures. Alternatively, 1" = 100 paces can also be used with 6 mm figures
and for the American Civil War and Franco-Prussian War, 3" = 100 paces [3 mm
= 4 paces] for 20 - 40 mm figures. |
