History
It is an old story. Westwood released Command and Conquer and Blizzard released WarCraft. The two games sold many, many copies. All otehr game companies copied their design. This is another copy with some unique twists.

Game Play
Like all real time strategy games based loosely upon Command and Conquer and WarCraft, you have a construction center that enables the building of all types of structures. You will also command a wide and varied army of units produced by the structures and as you upgrade your structures, your units will develop additional powers. You even get to play with BattleMechs in this game.
The unique hook, if you will, of the game are the cards that you find lying about the playing field which can be dragged onto enemy units. The units will then be immobilized, destroyed, panicked, or teleported back to their base or suffer some other severe setback. Your units can be enhanced by cards, including a bezerker mode, stealth weapons, or even extra cash. The result is that players must move quickly and uncover the cards or be destroyed pell mell by the opposition.
