This issues topic is Napoleonic battles. The simulation is called Crossroads: The Battle of Quatre Bras.
Crossroads is a brigade level, operational simulation of the battle of Quatre Bras. You can play either the French or Allied side against a computer opponent.
Crossroads models the battle using classic hex & counter mechanics. These mechanics, in a variety of forms, are still in use today. What you get in this issue is a demonstration of the math that underlies these mechanics.
If you are a casual gamer, you will find a challenging computer opponent. If you like competitive play, you will learn ways to improve your skills. If you are a programmer or game designer interested in game AI (Artificial Intelligence), you will get enough detail that you can construct algorithms for your own projects.
