Description from the packaging.
Strategy and conquest in real-time.
In the warrior's dream, a great theatre light up from the horizon to his feet. Music swells in his ear. Massive clouds march across the sky and shadows shift across the rolling ground.
The theatre is framed by floating crystal tiles, and columns of ruby and topaz, pulsing with power. The warrior watches as images engraved on the tiles begin to glow with unearthly color, cutting into the angry sky.
Seven soldiers move across the patchwork land, avoiding obstructions, planting mines, cutting paths across the ground, slowly, stealthily, working north. Time accelerates as the soldiers live through days in what feels like moments in the warrior's dream.
Then from their right flank, an enemy tank is into the seven soldiers. First one, then another is cut down. The other five scatter. The thank pivots and bears down on a third fleeting victim. Its barrel locks onto the target, but a mine detonates and knocks it off aim, slowing it down. The soldiers escape.
From the north the wounded tank now is joined by an army of great power. Tanks and cannon, and great rotating machine guns rumble across the land. The warrior watches as huge loads of supplies maneuver slowly behind the force.
In moments of his dream the warrior sees the army live through days of time. Camps are made and broken, units are resupplied, and patrols are run. Suddenly the army of the wounded soldiers appears and attacks the northern army's right flank. Their cannon begins shelling the supply camps.
The warrior reaches into the Theatre of War and touches the glowing tiles, taking command of the northern forces. Thunder rips across the sky as the battle rages. Sweat pours from the brow of the warrior.
Now it is no dream. Everything has changed. He's made the step. His imagination has entered the Theatre of War.
