You play as the Orange Star army at war with the Blue Moon army. Take turns with the opponent to buy new units, move units on the field, capture cities and attack enemy units. At the start of your each turn you will receive money based on the number of cities you have captured.
Each unit starts with 10 health. The amount of damage dealt and received during an attack depends on the opposing unit types, their location on the map (forests and mountains provide more cover than roads and fields) and the remaining health of your unit. Your vehicles need to be refueled or they become immobile, and different vehicles use up fuel at different rates.
You can play against the computer or a human opponent, and there are 15 maps to choose from.
