Impressions are churning out strategy games and their latest is this follow-up to Rorke's Drift. Cohort doesn't pretend to be an impressive world-scale simulation of global warfare - it's the sort of thing you might do with toy soldiers on your desk. Although there are five scenarios - on a bridge, by a clifftop and so on - each one has the same goal: beat the living daylights out of the opposition. You can move individual units or whole divisions by clicking on them with the mouse and then clicking on the location you want them to go to. If they encounter any enemies, they start fighting until one side wins.

Sounds simple, and indeed it is. There are many options to mess about with - altering the composition of your army, for instance, or trying new formations. Everything a strategy fan could want is included even though the graphics are simple and the sound is strictly minimal. Cohort is bound to appeal to the hardcore wargamer because it's completely strategy-based. There are no pretty arcade bits like you see in Betrayal, but buy it if wargames are your bag.
