I can recommend the Universal Military Simulator as a fun product. It works on my machine, and probably works on the SE/30, though I don't know for sure. UMS is a system that allows many historical and fantastical scenarios to be modeled. If you're familiar with board game or miniatures simulations, much of the system will be familiar to you, including the fairly standard unit designations. I have downloaded many custom scenarios from various networks, simulating everything from the Romans to Star Fleet. It's been fun, though of course I wish for bigger, faster, and more flexibility! ----------------------------------------------------------------- :-) Kent T.
