20th August 2001	Computer Simulation? By Bob Bennett Does anyone know of any PC simulation games that allow the re-enactment of Isandhlwana, Rorke's Drift, Khambula, Ulundi. Just curious as I enjoy studying the accounts, then simulating. I've studied and fought the American Civil War, the Hundred Days War and others. Bob

20th August 2001	Frank Muscal Another company is Incredible Simulations (Chicago). There are about six different battles and one is a demo that is downloadable - Pearson's Challenge. I believe its www.incrediblesimulations.com. Frank
21st August 2001	Ian Woodason Bob/John, Unfortunately the Twilyt one looks like it has been 'eaten up' http://gamespot.com/gamespot/stories/news/0,10870,2782914,00.html shame as it looked good - the Incredible Sim one is fine but is tame - it is a turn based strategy game just like a board game.

23rd August 2001	Alan Critchley Perhaps this is finally a way I could get some money from this site! I could create a simulation game of Isandlwana and Rorke's Drift with the players feeding in their alternatves which affect the outcome. What do you think? Alan
