Commando Chess

Game ID: GID0073586
Collection Status
Description

A chess variant using pieces based off of modern military units. There are seven types of pieces: infantry, calvary tanks, armor tanks, fighter planes, attack helicopters, bomber squadrons and a HQ Flag acting as the king.
The pieces have different movements from the standard chess game. The number of pieces is the same, 16 on each side, and the board is a standard 8x8. However, in living up to its name the game board has a camouflage background.
The ground units move and capture similar to chess pieces, but the three air unit types may jump over other pieces like the knights in chess. The bomber is a partial exception to this rule, it can only jump over pieces on its own side.
