There's also Battles in Time, from QQP.
Quote from: MobygamesIn the far future, humans no longer needed war. So when an alien threat approaches Earth, a test must be created for the prospective commanders... A timegate has been created into 4 past periods, where you must test your strategic skills, and when you pass all four tests, take your forces against the alien threat... The four periods are 2025, WW2, Roman Empire, and prehistoric. The turn-based movements are hex-based. You move the unit stacks. When two opposing stacks meet, you drop into tactical combat mode, where the individual units in the stack manuever on the smaller tactical map.
Turn based war game with dinosaurs and hover tanks! And aliens!

I own a number of QQP titles, but I just checked and I don't have
Battles in Time. According to MobyGames (http://www.mobygames.com/company/quantum-quality-productions),
"American Laser Games, Inc. acquired the company in 1994 and it became a subsidiary. QQP discontinued operations in 1995." Battles in Time was one of the last games released on the QQP label. Interesting.
Oddly enough, although I'm sure I must have played some weird PC wargames, I can't bring any of them to mind.
QQP published a number of great games such as Perfect General, PG 2 (which caused a lot of acronym confusion
with a certain other PG game...) Lost Admiral, and Grandest Fleet. Some of these have been revived by independents.
I'd put A Valley Without Wind somewhere on such a list.
.
I have to say "Tongue of the Fatman" and probably "Redneck Rampage" also...
