Wargame Construction Set

About

Wargame Construction Set lets you design and play your own turn-based strategy battles. Create maps, tweak unit stats, and pick settings ranging from historical conflicts to sci-fi showdowns. Fight solo or with others in scenarios you build from scratch. The game's tools handle the rules, so you focus on tactics and terrain. It’s all about turning blank grids into full-fledged wars. Released in 1986, this tool was way ahead of its time. It ran on multiple platforms from DOS to Commodore 64, letting players shape battles in ways most games couldn’t match. While modern tools offer more polish, the core idea feels fresh, some users still tweak maps today. A niche gem that laid groundwork for later strategy editors.
