Abstract: Time: The Nineteenth Century
 
Place: The Frontier between Anchovy and Baklava
 
Anchovy has assembled a large army to invade Baklava, a
neighboring state. The aim of the invasion is to capture
a majority of the Baklavan towns or to destroy the
opposing army. Baklava hopes to counter-attack and
capture Anchovian towns, or to drive out or destroy the
invaders.
 
GENRAL is a game of resource management. Calvary,
infantry, and artillery units contend for control of
roads, rivers, hills, towns, bridges, and forests.
Strategic decisions must be made in Real Time, aided by
statistical reports and animated video displays. An
extensive instruction manual is provided.
