Hi all,

The War Engine is the fourth in the series. Circa 7000 was the old DOS-based original, followed by WDK (Wargames Development Kit) and then WDK 2K. In each successive Version, the programmer (Mike Cooney of Boku Strategy Games) adds more and more features.

FYI, the WDk 2K demo features shotgun totin' Grunts (genetic mutations on Earth, in the year 40,000 or so) vs. Bellevillian Marines (human offspring working to re-terraform terra!). That particular scenario is from the "base game" included in WDK 2K - Armies of Armageddon.

The big selling point of The War Engine is that with some work, you can create a game in any genre you want. I happen to be the author of the TRL mod. I wanted to play with mechanized platoons and huge cybertanks, so I used WDK and then War Engine to create what I wanted.

If you want to see more about WDK 2K, take a look at my website:

Oh, despite doing TRL, I'm not employed or paid by Shrapnel... I just included something that I was doing for myself anyway.
