PBEM - The War Engine

After looking around, I found out that the War Engine ( http://www.strategyinformer.com/pc/thewarengine/full-game/23299.html) is available for download.

The good thing is that it looks like it is packaged for modern computers. It also contains a scenario design kit for creating your own wargames. It sounds great!

I downloaded it and installed it. It has 7 campaigns spanning fantasy, modern, and sci-fi. The campaigns show the depth of the wargame engine.

Unfortunately, I didn't find the system fun. It had LOS, fog of war, and a few other nifty elements. It just was unsatisfying to play. There is a PBEM option but I'm not willing to learn the system.
