It has utilities that allow users to create an electronic version of the map and counters of existing games, either square grid or hexagon based. It has built in dice-rolling routines and an "instant replay" feature that allows for superb play by email capabilities. In addition, ADC2 enables users to create their OWN wargames from scratch. It is the perfect design and development tool for wargame designers. Please note that ADC2 is NOT A COMPUTER "WARGAME" as such. It has NO AI and NO BUILT-IN RULES. It is, as stated above, a utility enabling you to play existing board games on your computer. With few exceptions, if you do not have the boardgame, you cannot play it on ADC2. Note that it is also easy to use ADC2 to play face-to-face by "hotseating" and solitaire play is a breeze - never a need to worry about having to clear off the dining room table or be concerned about pets taking your turn for you while you are away. Visit the HPS Simulations Information Center for more details and Ordering Information on ADC2, Tigers on the Prowl, Panthers in the Shadows and other great computer wargames.
