In the game, you control an army on one of several hexagonal maps, many based on historical battles (like its competitor ''PanzerGeneral''), assign your troops and either wipe them out or (more likely) earn the most points for holding the most cities.

Added DiffLines:

* GeoEffects: Both built onto the map (forests restrict your line of sight, hills are slow to climb but give you more range, roads speed you up, deserts slow you down and are generally obnoxious) and affecting some turns (mud, storms, etc).

The game is notable for being one of the first games playable via modem. 1991-era modem, but nevertheless a modem.
