The game takes place on a stylized map of parts of the world, where elements of the armies in conflict are shown as small groups of soldiers, mechanized vehicles, artillery, Naval or air units and utilise weapons of war commensurate with the time period, however their usage does not result in realistic violence.

An example of the violence seen during game play is as follows: a unit will fire at an opposing unit, the health gauge for the unit will decrease in line with the destructive force. This will continue for the current round until a unit is destroyed, at which point it will disappear from view.
