The search is over for a computer combat game you can get into easily and enjoy playing. In the tradition of The Avalon Hill Game Company's board games. Combat Chess places two players, or the solitaire garner, at the head of an army of tanks and armored cars in a fast- moving game that requires a lot of skill and a little luck to win. Each game of Combat Chess will be different, because the players choose the rules! You select the playing field- consisting of natural or abstract terrain-from a library of ten boards. You select how much the units can move each turn, and when and how they fire. Destroy your opponent's Battle Cruiser and you win! Each game promises to be a challenging puzzle with the subtle tactics of chess. Because the rules are so simple, more attention has been devoted to making the computer a very intelligent opponent. Holding out under its attacks is an intriguing tactical problem in itself. Combat Chess (kom bat ches) noun: an easy-to-learn game that is as engrossing as chess itself. Combat Chess is ready to run on your Atari Home Computer with 48K memory. Disk Drive and at least one joystick.
