War társasjáték

Angol leírás

Each of the two players has 24 pieces: 16 infantry, 6 cavalry, and 2 cannons. The player who moves first places their pieces on points 1-24, then the other player places their pieces on points I-XXIV. The different troop types can be placed on these points in any grouping. Players then take turns moving.

Movement is permitted in all directions, but only along black lines (movement is not allowed across red lines or gaps). Infantry and cannons move only to the next point. Cavalry moves up to 2 points. Any piece can move up to 3 points along the railway line, even around a bend in the railway.

An undefended enemy piece must be captured. A piece is undefended if its nearest point, in the straight continuation of the enemy's line of attack, is unoccupied. The infantryman and cavalryman capture across the black and red lines, capturing the piece on the nearest point by jumping over it, moving to the unoccupied point, and removing the enemy piece. Infantrymen and cavalrymen may only capture one piece per turn. The cannon captures across the black and red lines, capturing all undefended enemy pieces on them, even if they are on points further away, by removing the undefended enemy pieces without moving its position. Captures may not be made across breaks in the playing net. Railway lines are treated as ordinary black lines for capturing purposes, and captures may not be made around curves.

A cannon is considered captured and may no longer change its position if an enemy piece manages to advance to the nearest point. If the enemy piece is undefended, it must be captured, and the cannon must also be removed by the enemy in the next turn.

Each player has one entrenchment tile and three railway tiles; in higher-quality versions, five railway tiles are required. The entrenchment tile creates a break in the game board network between the two points it is placed between. The railway tile transforms the section of line it is placed on into a railway line. Entrenchment and railway tiles may be placed on black and red lines if neither of the two points between which they are to be placed is occupied by an enemy piece. Placing or removing a tile counts as a move. If both points between which a tile is placed are occupied by the enemy, the tile becomes the enemy's property. The enemy can either leave it in place or remove it and place it again later.
The winner is the one who first occupies points 1, 2, 3 or I, II, III in enemy Fortress, or encircles the enemy so that he has no more moves, or first destroys him down to 2 pieces.
