For those unfamiliar with role-playing games or wargames, Phoenix Command is an excellent introduction to the fascinating world of simulation gaming. Just as chess represents a strategic game of conquest and strategy, Phoenix Command details the action in modern small arms combat. Like chess, playing pieces moved on a playing surface resolve the action. But unlike chess, the playing pieces in Phoenix Command represent individual people, or characters, with combat resolved on a second-by-second basis. The outcome depends on each character's actions, skill, and strategy.
Any number of people can play Phoenix Command; it is ideally suited to two teams, with a referee to moderate the action.
