WARGAME ACADEMY COMMENTS: Play is similar chess however
terrain restricts some movement of different units, all units may move in
a turn, and hidden variable setup. High unit attrition in initial turns. Excellent
quick play alternative to chess played by 2 - 6 players as individuals or
in teams.
WARGAME ACADEMY GAME TOOLS: Softcopy rulebook., Five game
sets.
