A set of commodity and advance cards. • (MS Word file).
A general reference guide intended to help beginners with the game. • (SPI) - (358K, Stuffit compressed Hypercard stack) This is a HyperCard stack for Macintosh OS 9. Should run fine on Mac OS X. Requires HyperCard Player or HyperCard 2.0. (2206K, Stuffit compressed) This is a standalone version for Macintosh OS 9 and Mac OS X. Does not require HyperCard.
There is no PC version. The stack fairly closely follows the SPI game. It is single player, for solitaire use. For multiple play on the same computer make a copy of the stack or application and rename it. As a challenge, try playing it solitaire with just the original 6 or 7 areas and see how many turns you can get through before your economy collapses. For this I highly recommend selecting the options on the opening screen and adding in Research & Development, Fertiliser and No trade. Questions can be sent to Allan Bell.

We owned copies of various La Bataille games from Clash of Arms, but found the rules a bit too ambiguous for my taste (maybe I am just a rules-lawyer at heart!). Anyway, I rewrote them, not to change the mechanics, but just to make them clearer and watertight. Along the way we couldn't help changing one thing, which was to graft on an orders system inspired by the Civil War Brigade Series from The Gamers.
Indeed, these command rules were published in Operations many years ago. These rules are based on La Bataille 3rd edition rules (NOT the 4th edition, which I have never read). Obviously the copyright in the games and orginal rules belongs to Clash of Arms, these rules are copyright to me (although feel free to use them yourself, just don't sell them). Clash of Arms was happy for me to make them available, and I would actually be happy to donate these rules to Clash of Arms. Please if you use these, especially if you have feedback. I'd like to have the chance to improve them.'
