Summary

You assume the role of a military commander stationed deep inside a hidden underground bunker. Your objective is to eliminate your enemy's civilian population while crippling their capacity to strike back at you. Begin by deploying your fleet of battleships, submarines, and bombers to dismantle your opponent's defenses. Forge alliances, but keep in mind that only one power can emerge triumphant. Initiate a preemptive strike before one of your supposed allies decides to do the same. Choose the ideal moment to turn on them, unleashing a catastrophic thermonuclear assault that leaves them in ruins. But if you miscalculate, their brutal retaliation could bring you to total ruin!
