Synopsis

Battle 1917 is a turn-based strategy game for one or two players. The game is set against the backdrop of World War I, featuring new technology and the first use of tanks. Players command 29 units of five types: infantry, cavalry, tanks, artillery, and a king. The objective of the game, as in chess, is to capture the enemy king, which is the weakest and slowest piece on the board. Each unit has different statistics. The map measures 21x32 squares and is randomly generated for each new game. Objects on the map include cables, forests, rivers, and units. The game was programmed by Mark Lucas for the Sinclair Spectrum and ported to the BBC Micro by P. Martin. Mark Lucas won the 1983 Cambridge Award for *Battle 1917*.
