I also think that it was Mike Cohen who once visited me at home when I had the most terrible 16-year-old first ever hangover. Game always remain interesting game for the last two decays.

By coincidence I wrote the Spectrum and CBM-64 version of Johnny Reb 2 back in 1985 for Lothlorien. I also created Dark Empire which was my own take on Empire in 1987.
I was once credited with inventing the computer wargame. I didn't believe it at the time, and now have proof that I was correct to not believe it. :-)
(The game in question was Johnny Reb on the Spectrum in about 1984)
Though I did almost invent object oriented programming :-)
Every computer piece had a string attribute associates with it. That defined its current "tactic" and was basically an expression using one or more user-defined functions that could be interpreted (EVAL()) as-required and returned the target square of that piece. This meant that the computer controlled pieces could occasionally shift their tactics, too.
Thanks for the interview Ned. Walter seemed to be keeping his cards close to his chest as far as revealing his thought process. Perhaps some of that code ended up being used in military applications.
those were the days. Games of the past are more easy to play and straightforward.
However, we will need to consider the reality of life and we need to work and pay for bills

My addiction to the MS-DOS version kept me upgrading my VMWare Fusion for years! First discovered it in about 1982 on a DECUS tape.

I don't think I've seen a better computer wargame than the original empire
