Each turn, you maneuver your tanks, mines and guided missiles, destroying your foe's forces with opportunity and direct fire. Movement is affected by terrain and type of fire implemented. Damage statistics keep you updated on your condition. Full color simultaneous movement and combat resolution take place on your screen.

You determine your strategy and tactics. A unique system for entering orders allows you to plot your maneuvers without your opponent's knowledge.
