(from the back of the box:) A remake of one of the classic SPI folio quad-games. Graphics updated to FGA standards. Step-reduction introduced. Brand new overrun rules with possible adverse effects to the overrunning player. All new 1d10 Combat results Table. But still retains the classic 'Quad-Game' flavor originated by SPI. This simple game system results in a dynamic, fun-to-play game that captures the essence of WWII warfare, where the right gamble at the right moment can change history. 3 Scenarios with 1/2 day turns 17" x 22" full color paper map 100 back-printed die-cut counters (plus 20 counters for fixes to Eagle and the Sun)
