DESCRIPTION

       page was written for  the  Debian  distribution  because  the  original
       program does not have a manual page.

       based strategy game in which each player becomes leader of an  European
       nation, fighting to obtain the independence of the mother country.

       A multiplayer mode has been added to the original game.
