4. TAHGC CATALOG VERBAGE:
5. GAME BOX VERBAGE: The rules emphasize command and administrative considerations, and their dragging effect on maneuver. Battles are mere punctuation marks at the conclusion of long marches.The map's hexes are smaller than on any other game map. This allows us to portray a very large area on a map 25% its normal size, easily accommodated by ordinary table space. Counters represent forces made up on organization displays occupy two hexes on map, their two-hex size reduces the possibility of mistaking their actual location, because only one leader in a stack remains on the map, units density on the map average less than 20 units per side.
6. YEAR PUBLISHED (EDITIONS): 1981. Only one published edition.

20. WARGAME ACADEMY COMMENTS: I have not played this title so cannot make an assessment. Given its short life in TAHGC catalogues (still looking for one that has it), I can assume the high complexity, extensive rules targeted this game for game grognards and has a short lifespan dispite distinquished names on the credits.
21. WARGAME ACADEMY GAME TOOLS: None to date.
