| Terrain Map of the Game |
When I was a Primary School student, I was good at this game (literally means Army Game) . Each piece can represent a Captain, Lieutenant, a hand grenade, a mine, a Commander, a foot soldier etc. Each piece is placed in the printed box on the plastic terrain map provided. Back then the pieces was carved out of wood. Now it is in plastic.
I am so glad that I purchased this game set in a supermart in Guangzhou China for RMB24 (S$5.10). The objective of the game is to secure the State Flag (which is also represented in piece). The games pieces are placed downward so that each player does not know the placement strategy of the soldiers and explosive. A referee will look at the pieces of the red and blue sides to determine who will be the winner in each move. The State Flag is secured by pushing the soldiers forward to overcome the enemy force. For example, a Captain of the blue side will win against a Lieutenant of the red side. However, only humans and hand grenade can move. A mine and State flag will not be able to move. Humans can be killed by hand grenade or a mine, regardless of rank.
There is a strategy to win the game as many young players will simply put their junior soldiers in the frontline. Of course, there is an element of luck too.
I will keep this game in excellent condition as a memory of my childhood.
