| Mar 27, 2013 at 15:03 | comment | added | Nate C-K | Tabletop wargames are an area where there's a lot of innovation going on in terms of game systems, so I think it could be pretty beneficial to look into it. Most of the games' rules are available online in PDF form so you can read them and learn for them for free. (Of course you should buy and play any of them that draw your interest!) | |
| Mar 27, 2013 at 15:01 | comment | added | Nate C-K | Regarding your reference to Lee and Napoleon, there are board-based wargames that take various approaches to this problem; usually, rather than limiting the info available to the commander, they limit the extent of his control. The Gamers series (gamersarchive.net/thegamers/archive) does this by requiring you to issue orders to subcommanders that they may or may not obey faithfully. The "chit pull" system (e.g. gmtgames.com/p-112-glory-iii.aspx) randomizes the sequence of activation of your units, so that you may know what you want to do but be unable to do it in time. | |
| Mar 27, 2013 at 14:57 | comment | added | Nate C-K | Most RTS games (e.g. Age of Empires 1 & 2, the Total War series) allow you to play single-player games in this style, as you can pause at any time, issue orders, then unpause and watch things unfold. I always play like this, and I refuse to play RTS games (like AOE3) that don't allow it because I dislike speed pressure in a strategy game. | |
| Jan 5, 2012 at 13:03 | comment | added | Jonathan Dickinson | It's not enough content to warrant a full answer; but one problem some commands might not be possible - e.g. if an enemy deletes a unit and you had an attack order on that unit; fog of war would also have the same problem in some situations - which would severely an otherwise well thought out play. | |
