I seem to remember years ago seeing Fantasy/SF games played with pictures of characters drawn as if seen from above. What is the official name for that POV? Thanks, Dan |

I always called it "top down" and that is the search term I use for Google. |

Thanks guys! Seems like "top down" is indeed the more commonly used term for what I was talking about:
When I started my search using different key words I came across this which, though not exactly top view, I still found to be very cleverly done:

Wow, those paper units look nice. That pest was from 5 years ago. I wonder if any other ones were made? |

Very cool stuff, thanks for sharing. |

The Napoleonic stuff was something that I started but abandoned due to the difficulties of implementing cavalry or artillery units as blocks. Regards
