Welcome to Strategic Overrun. SO is a two-player game that pits one's military strategy against another. It is played very similarly to traditional board war games played with cardboard square "counters" on a hexboard, like "Squad Leader."
If you like Strategic Overrun, please pay the $5 shareware fee. It's our only method of letting us know that you appreciate what we're doing and it will give us a lot of motivation to try to do more.
Furthermore, if you have any ideas or thoughts or if you have bugs to report, please send email to pokey@cs.stanford.edu - we'd like to hear what you have to say.
SO 1.0 is guaranteed to be VIRUS FREE (checked w/ Disinfectant 3.6) and was tested successfully on a Quadra 630, a Mac IIci, a PM 7100/66, and a Centris 610. It is NOT a fat binary, although once Erik gets a powermac, then we'll start making fat binaries.
There are currently two scenarios installed in Strategic Overrun 1.0:
Medley - an "exercise" scenario, where nearly every piece is featured, on one team or another. The map is small, so you can familiarize yourself with the strengths and weakness of each piece. Green has an advantage here.
Lumberjack - a very green scenario, where the abundance of foliage has made mechanized movement a real headache. There are no aircraft in this scenario, although there are a few
interesting parts to the map, including many factories and potentially lots of units. Blue starts out with an advantage, but overall this scenario is actually very even.
