At the four sides of the Siege Zone are yellow sections called "Base Areas", each containing 12 squares. The Siege Zone and the four Base Areas together constitute what is called "Combat Territory". —description from the rulebook High-Command is a chess-like game for up to four players, either individually or as partners.
