A round based strategy game with a hex based grid I think there where generic military units like warships u boots pioneers infantry trucks helicopter destroyers. It had a very rudementry 8 bit graphic and it is not Panther panic
Perhaps the ‘Battle Isle’ series?
P.S. Or ‘Panzer General’ or another of the dozens wargames made by Strategic Simulations Inc. There were quite a lot of hex wargames back in the nineties.
Sadly no. The units whee represented by pictograms from the sideview.
But yeah the problem is that there where so much and so many different ones, even made as shareware slop
You could try looking through Category:Computer wargames as to whether any of the titles click.
If the game wasn't on DOS or Windows, the choice is smaller, but alas I don't see a list on Wikipedia with platforms. MobyGames might have it. Alternatively, I had a script somewhere that pulled the platform and other info from all pages in a category, but not sure currently where it is.
