This WWII game encourage kids to consider army careers. Each player becomes on of the five children on the lower right and pursues a distinct training path that leads to one of the five service branches: Infantry, Artillery, Signals, Armor, and Air Force. The game was included as a centerfold pull-out in a children’s magazine published by the Asahi Shimbun newspaper chain. The absence of any naval roles suggests that the game was army-sponsored.
