You may have guessed from its name that this is a game of war. In fact, it's one of a series of two-player strategy games. The instructions reminded me of the typical rules for a board game. They are very complicated and detailed and if you read them extra carefully you may just be able to comprehend them. But I'm making no promises.

When the game has loaded there is no scenario in the memory, so it can either be loaded from the tape or you can make up your own, which can also be saved. Each player's forces consists of 35 units, 12 separate types of unit, each conditions for victory are decided upon by the two players. For example, you may wish the outcome to be decided on the number of cities taken rather than units lost.

If you hate board games, this isn't really worth considering. If, on the other hand, you like the sound of it try and find out more about it. The same game has been released for the Spectrum.
