HOW TO PLAY

The game has 3 campaign years and each year is followed by a winter phase.  The winter phase has supply/attrition functions for army units and fleets return from deployment.  Each campaign year has 11 turns and a possible 12th turn.  Each turn has a player phase for each side. During the player phase, players can make one move. 

Moving army and ship units cause battles between those units when movement ends in a location with units from both sides.  The battles themselves reduce the strength of units, cause retreats and the winner of the battles control the location. 

The game can be played in alternating turns or can be played with simultaneous turns.
