Area Impulse wargames
-
The wargame hobby is an eclectic one in terms of game mechanics. In the 70s and 80s for the most part the traditional hex and counter mechanic dominated. Over time however new mechanics were created. Some never took off while others did. A great example is the CDG. Premering in the 1994 game We the People it's become a major part of the wargaming landscape. Block wargaming with it's fog of war is another example.
Another mechanic is the area impulse. While not as wide spread as the CDGs and block games it's been around since the early 80s and has had it's successes. Here is a list of games that use this rather distinctive mechanic.
Please add games to the list that you feel are needed.
