From the introduction to the game, found in Panzerschreck Magazine #12 and Panzerschreck Anthology: "Masada is a very simple solitaire 'Panzerschreck' Mini-Sim which covers the siege of Masada in Palestine by the Romans, circa AD 72-73. In Masada, the game system replays the siege; the player plays the side of the Romans. As with all Mini-Sims, the game components must be photocopied and cut out prior to play."
