About this game

This game for high-school students has a 15 x 20 grid across a board with generic landscape. There are three key features: a red-bordered six-space headquarters that must be captured, a river across the middle that slows movement, and four yellow squares on each side that allow players to place reserves that cannot be attacked. Each side starts with 21 pieces: 8 infantry, 4 tanks, 4 artillery, 3 missiles and 2 airplanes. An illustrated divider allows hidden set-up.

Move and Capture

Rules

As in chess, each type of piece moves differently and destroys an enemy piece by moving onto its square. All moves are orthogonal. The first player makes a single move; his opponent makes two; the first player makes two; then the opponent makes three. Thereafter each player's turn includes three moves, enabling a variety of assaults, probes and counter-attacks. Destroy all opposing forces to win.
