Aide de Camp 2 (ADC2) is a program designed for playing board wargames by email ("PBEM").  It has utilities that allow users to create an electronic version of the map and counters of existing games, either square grid or hexagon based. It has built in dice-rolling routines and an "instant replay" feature that allows for superb play by email capabilities. In addition, ADC2 enables users to create their OWN wargames from scratch. It is the perfect design and development tool for wargame designers. Please note that ADC2 is NOT A COMPUTER "WARGAME" as such.   It has NO AI and NO BUILT-IN RULES. It is, as stated above, a utility enabling you to play existing board games on your computer. With few exceptions, if you do not have the boardgame, you cannot play it on ADC2.  Note that it is also easy to use ADC2 to play face-to-face by "hotseating" and solitaire play is a breeze - never a need to worry about having to clear off the dining room table or be concerned about pets taking your turn for you while you are away.

• Visit the HPS Simulations Information Center for more details and Ordering Information on ADC2, Tigers on the Prowl, Panthers in the Shadows and other great computer wargames.

• Interested in learning about creating ADC2 Modules? Visit the ADC2 Hints and Tips section available at the HPS Simulations web site.
• Get the Latest Aide de Camp Program Update V2.15 March 2004
• Get the Updated ADC2 Manual and Help Files
• Gerald Schwartz's Primer on Using ADC2 to PBEM.  Confused?  Feel the manual doesn't tell you what you need?   Check this out!
• Charles McLellan's ADC2 Play Guide to L2's Russia Besieged is a great tool for learning how to use ADC2 to play nearly any game module.
• Charles McLellan's AH Blitzkrieg Module contains not only complete game rules, but detailed step by step instructions on how to play and build modules - information applicable to all ADC2 modules. (Note: the link takes you the list of Avalon-Hill games, and will scroll to the Blitzkrieg entry if it is not on the screen).
• Alex Henderson's Creating Maps and Symbols with Paint Shop Pro is a detailed guide on how to create maps and graphics for ADC2 using PSP 7, and contains excellent information which can be used with other graphics programs.  This new version is an extensive revision - it simplifies some of the previously suggested techniques and contains much new material.  It comes with a large number of terrain patterns, hex grids, symbols, etc. 
• Nick Bell's tutorial on Making Point of Attack Scanmaps in ADC2. (20 MB)  Although orientated toward Point of Attack users, practically all of this tutorial is useful for ADC2 users, given that the maps are made with ADC2!
