ABSTRACT:
A housing assembly includes a first housing hingedly mounted to a second housing, wherein each housing includes a first inner wall playing field, with a second playing field relative to each first playing field pivotally mounted thereto, with each first playing field including a plurality of wings hingedly mounted thereto, wherein each wing is pivotal from a first horizontal position to a second vertical position relative to the first playing field, wherein adjacent pairs of first wing upper edges are cooperative with respective upper edges of the second playing fields to receive "T" shaped locking members to secure the playing fields together. Each first playing field includes a first grid, and the second playing field includes a second grid, wherein the second grid includes apertures corresponding to first grid spaces for receiving indicator pegs therewithin. Field pieces includes various first, second, and third tokens representing various military articles initially positionable as desired, with the first token representative of a tank configuration displaceable along the first playing field of each player during play of the game. A modification of the invention includes the second playing piece configured as an artillery and operative as a catapult to project various projectile members against an opposing first token for a deadlock game or to expedite termination of a game to attempt to strike the first, and particularly the third, tokens of an opposing player.
