Description:

GLOBAL COMBAT is a Risk like web
based game in which turns are taken
simultaneously. The game has a very natural playing pattern which is rich
in strategic options as well as tactical battles. Since it is played over
the internet, actions are hidden from your enemies until the turn runs.
GLOBAL COMBAT has a WW1 era motif and contains a Elo based rating system
which rewards players depending on their place in the game, not just
whether they win or lose. This leads to the political side to GLOBAL
COMBAT, in which you must sometimes forge alliances in order to survive,
fighting not just to win, but for your honor...
