RED LIGHTENING This is a rather extensive document. Not as large as some I have typed in, but considerable none-the-less. Enough verbal diarrhoea... INTRO -- This is a war simulation - semi-futuristic - with conflicting forces being NATO and the Warsaw pact, but to play it I just imagine the opposing forces as aliens.... Most orders are entered by the mouse. THE MAP -- The map shows central europe from northern Denmark to central Austria and from central Belgium to central Poland/Czechoslovakia. Hex scale is 25 Kilometers. Scrolling is accomplished by selecting any of the top six buttons at the right of the screen. Holding down the mouse button will repeat the scroll in the selected direction. The other three buttons shown on the map screen perform the following functions: <U> Enable/disable display of unit icons. This allows you to remove the units from the mpa to allow unobstructed view of the map. <P> Enable/disable display of hex possesion and para/amphib target hex information. This function shows which side controls a given hex by putting a coloured dot in the lower left corner of all the hex's on the map. Warsaw pact hex's -- red dot; Neutral hex's -- a white dot; NATO owned hex's -- blue dot. If the P/A hex is in the display area, it will be indicated with an outlined CHECK mark. <O> Invoke the strategic overview display. The entire map will be displayed at a greatly reduced scale. To exit you must select a location on the overview display. The standard map display will be centered on the selected area. You may also select any hex on the standard map display for additional information (displayed below the map) on terrain and units in the hex. To do this pess the left mouse button while the map cursor is in the desired hex. If a hex containing a unit is selected, that unit and any other units belonging to its corps will be marked with a small rectangle in the lower left corner of the unit icon. Full unit information will only be available for friendly and neutral hex's. SAVING A GAME -- Each game consists of 20 or 60 turns representing the first 10 or 30 days of WW III in central Europe. Each turn represents 12 hours of time. TRAVEL MODE MOVEMENT COSTS TERRAIN COST (In movement points) Open ..................................................... 3 Road (all terrain except rough) .......................... 1 Road (rough terrain) ..................................... 2 Urban .................................................... 2 Marsh .................................................... 4 Forest ................................................... 3 Rough .................................................... 4 Mountain .................................................

All movement costs are cumulative. No unit of either alliance may enter Austria unless it is first invaded by the Warsaw Pact. TERRAIN EFFECTS ON UNIT COMBAT STRENGTHS TERRAIN TYPE LETHALITY LIGHT UNITS SURVIVABILITY Open ................ 1.0 ........... 1.0 ............... 1.0 Forest .............. 1.0 ........... 2.0 ............... 1.5 Rough ............... 1.0 ........... 2.0 ............... 1.5 Marsh ............... 1.0 ........... 2.0 ............... 1.0 Urban ............... 1.0 ........... 3.0 ............... 2.0 River ............... 0.75 .......... 1.0 ............... 1.0 The light units modifier applies only to units listed as having a survivability of one or two (see later). Survivability modifiers are cumulative, thus increasing the survivability of light units in urban terrain six-fold.

No Effect Thus, all artillery factors are multiplied by 1.1 on a Fair/Warm day and all combats result in an additional 4 points readiness being lost DESCRIPTION OF ICONS: A rectangle with an oval inside and two spikes on top are tank divisions or UNIFIED CORPS divisions. Armoured division. Panzer division. Division Blindee. A rectangle with an oval inside and one spike on top is a motorized rifle division. Infantry Division. Gebirgsjaeger division. Panzergrendaier division. Division D'Infanterie. As above but one spike - Motorized rifle brigade. Infantry brigade. Mechanized or motorized brigade. Heimatshutzbrigade. A rectangle with a SEAGULL inside and two spikes - Airborne division. Division Aeromobile. As above but one spike - Airborne brigade. Air assault brigade. Fallschirmjaegar Brigade. Para-commando regiment. A rectangle containing an anchor and one spike on top - Marine brigade. Naval infantry Brigade. Marine regiment. Rectangle with a dot in it - Artillery division, brigade or regiment. A rectangle containing a slashed oval and one spike on top - Armoured cavalry regiment. A rectangle containing 'HQ' - Corps or army headquarters. Here is a list of the various combat characteristics of the equipment used by units in the game. The values represent our best estimates of the performance of the equipment in the battle conditions that they are likely to face in any near conflict in Central Europe.

It's a pretty second rate war game anyhow, with little imagination. I'm pissed off with the enemy being the Russians. A bit out of date isn't it. But some-one must like this typed of thing.
