I heartily agree with the above. I am currently working on a game using
Cyberboard that could be used as a simple campaign system.    Each hex
is a
star system, and each system produces a certain number of resources. 
All
the forces have a combat value that could be converted into a point
value.
If you don't want to generate a miniatures battle you can use the CRT to
resolve the combat.  I've got a rough prototype of it up on my website,
but
I am in the proces of changing the graphics and rules fairly
substantially.
