From the BGG entry:

'A chart based solitaire game.

'The The Way of the Warrior (WotW) is a solo system to simulate small tactical war operations. Is not aimed at a specific period: the base version of the rules is set on WWII but is quite easy to introduce new periods/themes.

'Campaign Setup. Select one of the available nationalities for your units if this is the first mission: German, US, Russian, Italian and Finland are available for the WWII. Select one theatre of the operations in the [Theatre of Operations] Table where your nationality is present and use the other nationality specified in the in the table for the enemy forces.

'The basic flow of the game is the following:'

• Mission briefing: determine the objectives of the mission
• Equipment: choose your team
• Mission:
• Event determination
• Encounter phase
• Advance to next zone
• Post-mission debriefing: experience gain
