Each player has 15 soldiers, 4 tanks, 2 planes and 1 commander. The commander is placed into the capital city (marked with a flag). The other units are placed anywhere within the first 4 rows in front of each player. The different units move and capture in different ways. Spaces marked with a square may not be entered and spaces marked with a "x" are obstacles. Units standing on obstacles may not capture other units. The goal of the game is to take the capital of the opposite player or to capture all his units. There are simplified rules for younger children.
