Strategy & Tactics magazine #41. "[A] tactical level simulation of armored warfare as it was in the period 1937-1940. Conflicts represented took place in the Spanish Civil War, the Battle of Khalkhin-Gol, the Russo-Finish War, and the early stages of World War II. Armies represented include the British, French, German, Czech, Finnish, Russian, Japanese, Polish, Spanish Republican and Spanish Nationalist. A great variety of armored fighting vehicles are involved in a wide range of situations along with infantry and artillery units. A panic rule simulates the varying levels of training, discipline and determination of the forces represented." Units represent platoon sized units. One turn is 3 minutes and 40 seconds. Each hex is 100 meters across. Used SPI's first simultaneous movement plotting system, SiMov.
