The briefing

About this game

Computer Ambush is a turn-based tactical simulation set in France during World War II. As a sergeant, you command a squad of 10 infantrymen serving either the American or German side.

Each soldier has a name, personal dossier, and individual ratings for critical combat skills. Soldiers can also be rated to the player's own specifications, providing additional flexibility when organizing the squad. Battles continue in turns until one side is destroyed or the missions of one or both sides are completed.
