Page "Wargaming" Paragraph 45

Remote computer assisted wargames can be considered as extensions to the concept of PBEM gaming, however the presentation and actual capabilities are completely different.

They have been designed to replicate the look and feel of existing board or miniatures wargames on the computer.

The map and counters are presented to the user who can then manipulate these, more-or-less as if he were playing the physical game, and send a saved file off to his opponent, who can review what has been done without having to duplicate everything on his physical set-up of the game, and respond.

Some allow for both players to get on-line and see each other's moves in real-time.
