Yeah, that would be Tractics. State of the Art in 1:1 WW2 war games, in
say, 1976 or there about. You should see the effect of trying to deal
with a "Bofors Wonder Gun" (40 mm AA gun) firing at a Pzkfw IV some
time. About 50 die roles for one turn of fire. Normal result was no
penetrations but all the guns on the Panzer being jammed, plus one or
both tracks broken. This is NOT what would have happened in real life,
BTW.
