  • Patent number: 4221389
    Abstract: Game apparatus for a game which has a board representing a battlefield divided into a plurality of spaces to receive game pieces. The spaces are in a rectangular grid having a first pair of oppositely disposed margins having adjacent spaces representing trenches, and a second pair of oppositely disposed margins having adjacent spaces representing gun positions. Gun pieces located in the gun positions are oriented before firing so that their range is unknown to the opponent and pairs of guns can be interchanged before the guns have been fired, which is a realistic representation of a battlefield situation. Some spaces on the board are designated as being within range of a particular type of gun and tank pieces moving along the board from one trench towards the other trench are subjected to gun fire from an opponent's guns, if he so desires, when positioned on a particular space within range of a particular gun.
