Information about “BIG THREE DISK 2 OF 2 (1925 ALSO)”
In this WWII strategy game you control all the action from the desolate
fjords of Norway to the scorching sands of Egypt, from the strategic
Rock of Gibraltar to the frozen streets of Moscow. Recreate the epic
and fiercely fought battles of Tobruk and Stalingrad. Decide to open
your second front in Normandy or the "soft underbelly" of Europe
(Italy). Build bombers to hit your opponent's cities or build tanks and
fighters to encircle and destroy his armies at the front.
Detailed maps done in excellent graphics help you track your progress
and plan strategy. Each player assumes supreme command of the Axis,
Allied or Soviet forces in Europe during 1939-1945. Players who
perform better than their historical counterparts will normally win, and
those who under-perform will normally lose. Mouse and/or joystick(s)
are recommended but not required.

I. GETTING STARTED
Printing the Rules:
The complete BIG THREE rules (v.102) are included in the
file RULES102.DOC. They are in standard ASCII format and
may be printed out using any word processing program or
with the following directions:
1) Boot up DOS version 2.0 or higher.
2) Put Start-Up Disk into default drive.
3) Turn on printer and align paper to top of page.
4) Press the Ctrl and Print Screen keys simultaneously
to activate printer.
5) Key in TYPE RULES102.DOC at the DOS prompt.
6) Press Enter.
The rules fit nicely onto standard 8.5 by 11 inch paper.
Reading the Rules:
The rules are 28 pages long but experienced wargamers
shouldn't have any trouble reading through them quickly.
For less experienced players, I suggest skimming the
rules first then playing the game, then reading the rules
more carefully. Keep in mind that you don't have to
remember all the rules, the computer will. The rules are
more or less for documentation and reference purposes.

1) Boot up DOS version 2.0 or higher.
2) Put Start-Up Disk into default drive.
