Very cool, reminds me of the Peter Gilder Televised series from the 70's in the UK. I think it was called Battleground.

Was there not a similar idea done in the late 1990's or early 2000's? A group of amateur historians and generals replayed historical battles as a wargame format, which if I remember was done via computer which looked very similar in style to the Total War seies of computer games. Cannot for the life of me remember the title.

Cromwell, I think you mean Time Commanders (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Commanders) there was a brief revival in 2016. I remember my wargaming buddies in the UK trying to sneak in as a team. Sadly I don't think it took off, so was killed pretty quickly!

That's the one! Never saw the 2016 revival but enjoyed the first series.

Cannot for the life of me remember the title. It used the rome total war engine and was basically a test for it  |
