"LGeneral is a turn-based strategy engine heavily inspired by Panzer General.
You play single scenarios or whole campaigns turn by turn against a human player
or the AI. Entrenchment, rugged defense, defensive fire, surprise contacts,
surrender, unit supply, weather influence, reinforcements and other
implementations contribute to the tactical and strategic depth of the game."

LGeneral uses SDL and SDL_Mixer libraries.
