Rules
The Green player starts by moving his own lever one contact in either direction. He then moves the Red lever, counting each contact until a light flashes. This is the number of spaces one soldier can move, in any direction but in a straight line to the full count of spaces. Players then repeat the process in turn. Landing on obstacles may eliminate the soldier or delay progress. Passing over an enemy eliminates the piece. First player to get the telephone to the Outpost wins.
