They were extensively used by the Canadian Military as their official army wargaming rules to help train soldiers for war. Phil Barker, of WRG fame, gave his agreement for them to use many of his ideas in the production of these rules. The game was played on a 1:300 scale models on a standard wargaming table. Each vehicle is represented by one model, each infantry section by one base. Each move representing just 2 minutes of real time. It was designed to illustrate small unit tactics in a simulated battle. Players represent the troop leaders, platoon commanders or Forward Observation Officers (FOO). The game is best played with all the players on one side and a semi-programmed Soviet opponent should be run by the umpire according to the detailed notes on WARSAW Pact tactics.
