JOIN THI ll INFANTRY! Judging by the letters we've received from buyers of Computer Bismarck;" home computer historical wargaming is a great mind-stretching recreation to uncramp the old synapses after a few hours of trying to cram 54K of code into 48K of memory. But before you read any further, let us warn you that our new game, Computer Ambush;" is more gutwrenching than mind-stretching. Strategy versus Tactics Computer Bismarck is a "strategic" wargame, casting you in the role of a British or German admiral coolly deploying fleets of ships and planes. Computer Ambush is "tactical" ... tough and dirty street fighting in a half-ruined French town. You're a Sergeant You command a squad of ten infantrymen (either American or Gerrnan). Each man has a name, rank, and such individual combat skills as footspeed, strength, intelligence, endurance and marksmanship ... all of which affect the success of every move you order. Your squad is armed with grenades, rifles, automatic weapons, plastic explosives, bayonets, and even garottes. You fight with carefully-aimed shots, area bursts, explosions, and hand-to-hand combat. They can result in wounds or deaths, depending on time, distance, the individual skills of each soldier, and your ability as a squad leader. Battlefield Street fighting is the most challenging tactical command situation in modern warfare. Using "Higher Text", a character generator, the computer displays a map showing buildings (your plastic explosives can turn them into rubble during the game), walls, hedges, doors, windows (nasty sniper positions), and each of your men by name. The enemy is usually hidden. Play the Computer The computer plays the German squad leader (Feldwebel Kurt Reich) to perfection. It defends the town with sniping, machine guns, grenades, and finally, with hand-tohand combat. You're Sergeant Buck Padooka. You maneuver your men and fire at revealed and probable German positions. If you kill all the Germans before they get you, the town is yours. But the computer's a tough, experienced squad leader, so don't expect to win vefy often. Play a Friend You take turns examining the video map display, moving your men, and firing weapons. Your options are limited by casualties, wounds, physical exhaustion, ammo supplies, terrain, and the individual skills of each of your men. The same is true for your opponent. And every action takes precious time, even the flight of a grenade or bullet. (Remember, time is life or death on the battlefield and in Computer Ambush!) After each turn, the computer displays the movements and weapons fire of both squads as tracks on the video map ... just once, so watch carefully to figure out where the enemy is, or was. The Sweat and Death of War The time pressure and complexity of Computer Ambush create the stress of actual combat command. Your palms sweat as you watch PFC Chuck Lawson get blown away by that damned Kraut machine gun you forgot when you ordered him to sneak across the alley. If you can imagine a game that's more complex than chess, requires much faster decision-making, rewards courage and cruelly punishes foolhardiness ... tha:t's Computer Ambush! $59.95 and an Apple If you've got an Apple II Plus (or an Apple III or an Apple II with Applesoft Firmware ROM Card) with 48K memory and a 5\1.t inch inihi-floppy disc drive, you can be playing Computer Ambush in a few days. For $59.95, you get the game program disc; 2 mapboard charts (for plotting strategies in grease pencil while your opponent is at the computer); 2 squad leader's data cards; and a rule book. You also get a game selection card which tells you how to set up any of seven wargames: NCO Training, Ambush or Raid against the computer; and Patrol, Ambush, Strongpoint, or Free Form against a human opponent.
