Have you ever played Jagged Alliance 2 or so ? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> Mainly, this game is a tactics game - but they've used RPG elements for it.
You could put it this way : They've reduced role-playing completely to combat - there are few things apart from that - so combat is role-playing in this came. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
Unique, imho, if I'm right with my assumption.
Alrik.
P.S. : On the other had, you could view of JA as a "modern version of miniature games", so to say. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
