The War Game

Overview

The War Game is based on a day-long battle between two European armies in the 'horse & musket' period of warfare (17th-19th Centuries) when armies were relatively small and weapons were generally short-range. The game calls for both strategic and tactical skills in the positioning and use of infantry, cavalry, artillery and engineers on the battlefield of your choice. It is not an arcade game, so put away the joystick and switch on your brainpower.

You can imagine yourself as the general in command of a small army anywhere in 17th, 18th or 19th Century Europe or North America. You are faced with an invasion by the army of a larger power. In order to deter this power from further aggression you must inflict a spectacular defeat upon its army.

This will involve capturing the enemy Headquarters and also causing heavy casualties among the enemy. At the same time of course you must prevent your own Headquarters from being captured and keep your own casualties to a minimum. At the end of the game the King (your boss) will reward or punish you in the light of the performance of your army on the battlefield.
