With troops and supporting arms at your disposal, destroy the enemy trenches or eliminate the opposing force.
Players position and control miniature soldier figures on a simulated battle field with units which can destroy opposing forces, literally firing them up into the air. Trees act as good protection and cover for troops as their supports extend below ground which can impede the directional firing of the opposing player's artillery gun.

This is a very well designed game. There is incredible attention to detail in the design and layout of the 3D playing area and playing pieces. It is rare to find this game 100% complete and in good condition as there are a number of small parts and the artillery gun barrels are somewhat fragile and easily broken.
