It keeps the players informed of the situation and accepts their instructions to their forces. Units can move by land, sea, or air. A unit's movement rate is variable, depending upon its posture, the conditions of its movement, and the adequacy of transport. Attrition in engagements is assessed by a heterogeneous Lanchester square process. Indirect supporting fire and direct air support can be played. There is a simplified representation of air attacks on lines of communication and of engineering activities, including bridge building and mine laying. Supplies consumption can be assessed, and logistics can be played. The model recognizes severed lines of retreat and lines of supply and imposes appropriate consequences. The documentation consists of three volumes: (1) A Guide for Potential Users; (2) Game Designer's Manual; (3) Player's Manual. (Author)Read More
