Battle: The Game of Generals
Published 1979
A very introductory level wargame, kind of a "Stratego meets Tactics II." The object is to eliminate the opponent's HQ unit. Different eras are represented by changing the values and abilities of each unit. The counters are labeled with standard NATO insignia. Depending on which era is being played, there will be different numbers and types of the counters and their individual capabilities are geared towards that era. Terrain is added through overlay counters that are placed on the mapsheet. Each half of the board is a mirror image of the other, set up with the same number and configuration of terrain overlays.
