Battle

See if you can place your "troops" in the right place to defeat your opponent on the other side of the battle field. Each side takes a colored deck of 35 cards. Blindly draw seven and then look at them. Your top-ranked (highest value) card of the seven you draw from your deck will be your Field Marshall (which goes to your HQ). The other six cards will be the "troops" you place face down on the battle field (two rows of 3 cards). Your opponent tries to defeat your corresponding card with a higher number card (from their sector of the same name). The winner of each skirmish takes the other troop as a prisoner of war. If the fighting troops are evenly matched, there is a stalemate and they stay where they are (not counted as a victory or a loss). Once the six corresponding troops have all fought their skirmishes, you count how many victories there are. If there is a tie, the Field Marshalls on each side will battle each other. If there is still a tie, all 14 cards are placed off to the side of the board to wait for the results of the next round, and the winner takes all troops from both rounds (2 victories). With 35 cards on each side, you have 5 rounds to determine who wins the Battle!
