Translated from the Dutch rulebook: "METROPOLIS is a game in which two complete robot armies face each other. Each army consists of robot tanks, high-speed planes and robot battleships. Both players command such a complete army with each figure having its own peculiarities. By means of own insight and tactical play one can beat the opponent. As a player, you decide when the nuclear missiles should detonate, or how many planes should be on each aircraft carrier for the next air attack on the opponent's base. Submarines slip away from the grip of the heavy battleships and ravage the coast, while bombers inflict heavy casualties on the enemy behind his lines. METROPOLIS is an easy to learn game that you will not let go soon." The play board shows a map divided into a land area and a sea area. 10 squares wide and 15 squares long. There are 120 play figures, with different designs (laser tank, nuclear sub marine, repair vehicle, mine-field, ...). Each player tries to conquer two metropolises of his enemy.
