About this game
This game models the campaign of the Sandinistas to take down Somoza and the subsequent unsuccessful attempts by the Contras to recapture power in Nicaragua. Players must use military forces to battle their opponents, but also carry out intelligence operations to uncover hidden forces and use psychological warfare and propaganda to demoralize enemy forces and build popular support. They must court support from both social groups at home and governments abroad.
