Product Description

BATTLE ISLE 93 is a strategy game that employs the art of waging war in a determined attempt to overcome your opponent. Many boardgames, chess among them, are designed to follow a few simple rules to keep the game from becoming too complex. BATTLE ISLE 93 avoids overwhelming complexity by dividing the game into basic moves and standing orders. In BATTLE ISLE 93, players can simultaneously make use of their figures since they give their troops orders that their troops carry out independently. Maneuvers that would be impossible in a board game are easily mastered in BATTLE ISLE 93. The computer puts the troops completely at your command. Since games for two are the most fun, BATTLE ISLE 93 is designed to make true player to player play possible. BATTLE ISLE 93 is divided into "command cycles" so neither player is ever idle during the game. While one player moves his units, the other commands his own troops to carry out his actions. Typical actions include moving troops, attacking an enemy unit or setting up a depot. In two-player mode, each player is simultaneously in command and sees important strategic measures the other is engaged in.
