Battle Checkers is a brand new game based on the military maneuvers of attack and defense. It is as easy to play as ordinary checkers . . . exciting and absorbing . . . the game for wide-awake Americans of every age. You neednt be a checker or chess-player or a military strategist to win! But Battle Checkers is purely a game of skill, not chance. Alertness, judgment, ability to outguess and outplay your opponent all pay dividends in Battle Checkers just as they do along the far-flung battle-grounds of World War II. - BoardGameGeek
