Description

This game is a single 3/16 inch thick slab of dense cardboard with a Spinner included. It is 11 inches by 17 inches overall with the Instructions printed on one side, and 7-steps equal to about 2 paragraphs, very concise.
On the reverse side is the playing AREA, which is a rendering of a "Beachhead", on the left side of the Board, which also includes the spinner, and 9 "Invasion" Lanes of varying colors and length, leading from the "Beachhead" to the right side of the board. The length of the Lanes varies from 4, 5, & 6 then jumps up to 11, 12, 13, 14, & 15. The colors of the Lanes are RED 2-4 spaces, Lt. GRAY 1-5 spaces, YELLOW 2-6 & 12 spaces, VIOLET 1-13 spaces, TAN 1-14 spaces, and GREEN 2-11 & 15 spaces.
The playing pieces consist of 9 printed cardboard cut-out LANDING craft and 3 WARSHIPS, all of which can be placed within the GAME board for storage. The SPINNER has numbers and a RETREAT 2 PLACES section and the DEFENDER always spins it. To begin the game, place all 9 Landing Craft at the high number end of each Invasion Lane. Then the Defending player spins the Spinner and if a number is spun/picked, then any Landing Craft on that same number is "SUNK"/removed, otherwise the Landing Craft are advanced one space after each spin. There are 3 "Special" numbers which when spun will "SINK"/remove the Warships and if ALL of them are "SUNK" then the Defender gets to spin TWICE each time. The OBJECT of the game is for the Defender to sink 5-LC or the Invader to LAND 5-LC. NO designer/developer credits or DATE on the GAME but a number-#950-50 & Made in U.S.A. are printed below the instructions.
