Just caught two episodes last night. It is called "Command Decisions". Shows the unfolding of a battle and at various points asks questions of "what would you do?". For example, the first episode was on Stalingrad and they asked what type of recordings you would choose to play to the encircled Germans via loudspeaker. The choices were; 1. bombs, 2. airplanes, 3. ticking clocks. There were many other places in the timeline where they stopped and asked what you as a general would do. It was really cool and had lots of great footage plus computer generated maps.
The other episode was about the battle of Thermopylae. Gave the chance for the viewer to make decisions that King Leonidis was faced with. The computer animation was just totally awesome on this one.
Hope you get a chance to check this show out. It is really good. On 9:00 PM EST here in the U.S. tonight!
Later
