The game is a small-footprint simulation intended to give a quick and easy representation of the battle, focusing on good preparation of attacks and on when and where to withhold, retreat, rally and reorganize. The game lasts two turns. In each turn players alternate performing “impulses”, in which they activate units and/or gather coordination and reorganization commands. In each turn each unit can be activated up to two times. A turn ends when all units of one player have been activated twice. Once the second turn ends, victory is assessed, although an automatic victory can happen before the end of the two turns if certain conditions are met.
