A computer moderated campaign?

 Computer Moderated Wargame Rules

I'm really confused on how this thing works, but it appears to be a way to get the PC to handle doing a campaign, and it can be used solo.

 How to setup a solo scenario for a wargame table:

There's a lot of work to set the units up. The webpage is...grognad hell circa 1997. It does not support DOS. You order it via email(!). To a Hotmail account.

Grand Tactical Game.

Grand Tactical module is included at no extra cost.

The Grand Tactical module allows you to play against one or more opponents in the aproach moves that lead to a battle. The players deploy their commands in a landscape with terrain generated by the computer and then move towards a tabletop area marked in the centre of the table. During this Grand Tactical movement, commander ability, encounters with the enemy, difficult terrain and the excessive crowding of friendly commands can all contribute to delays and mishaps. When enough commands have entered the tabletop area the system declares the battle ready to start and exports the armies ready for battle. Commands that have not reached the tabletop area are set to flank march and appear later during the battle (you hope!). A Tactical Map of the battlefield with computer generated terrain and initial starting point for each command is provided for you to print and use as an aid to initial deployment. You now import the armies into the battle module and you are ready to fight the battle!

 

The whole thing seems rather ridiculous and peak-Grognard, but I will see if I can get a reply or order it.
