42 turns each representing 1 hour of real time over a 3 day period.. Players
are awarded points based on casualties and territorial objectives. At the end
of each turn and the end of the game points are calculated and compared to a
chart which determines your level of victory.
The game can be played under 3 different sets of rules (Basic, Intermediate
and Advanced) with 5 levels of difficulty for each and can be played against
another person or the computer can play either side.
