For some great context around this, I highly recommend "Playing at the world" by Jon Peterson (https://www.amazon.com/Playing-at-World-Jon-Peterson/dp/0615...). It's a fairly detailed history of paper and pencil games with quite a bit of focus on Little Wars, Kreigspiel, and D&D. If you're a gamer, I highly recommend it.

A pretty decent game I tried recently with this staple spell was Stronghold: D&D Kingdom Simulator. (super protip: if you decide to play this game, then one thing you want to do for sure is e.g. have Dwarves build Armories for the other classes that can't build them but can use them, then turn over control as described in the manual—same goes for Thieves and their Glassworks if you run up against Medusae)
Oh and by the way:
