A game of skill and strategy written in Basic for two players using joysticks.

The object is to overrun your opponent's capital.

There are two programs on the tape. The first enables you to test the sensitivity of your joysticks and the second is the game itself. Both programs must be loaded.

At the start of each game the map is drawn with the capital, army and navy bases for each force. players control either the red or yellow bases. Land and Sea units may be deployed and moved using the joysticks. When the opposing forces are near to each other battle will commence - the outcome depending on the strength of each force and the skill of the players. Each unit is displayed by one figure only regardless of the number of elements.

Other features include mine laying units which can lay two minefields. These do not affect your force but play havoc with your opponent and air reconnaissance. At which time you are able to discover the makeup of a rival unit.

The instruction sheet included contains detailed information on how to play and what to expect during the game. It takes a while to appreciate just what can be done.

My opponent and I thoroughly enjoyed this absorbing game. The graphics are of a high standard.

I loaded both programs first time on several occasions.
