About Mars Needs You!
Multinational Corporations have taken over the business of running Earth. MARS IS NEXT! As the executive manager of your Corporation's combat satellite, MARS NEEDS YOU!
> Uncontaminated water on Earth is scarce so water is the agreed upon commodity and the benchmark for success! > Your Earth Corporation is sending you a diminishing amount of precious water and expect you to become self-sufficient! > From an orbiting satellite around Mars, drop your troops down behind constantly shifting enemy lines to explore, conquest and harvest water from Mars for the profit of your company over a maximum of 6 years. |
Each Fiscal Year is divided into 4 Quarters and a Fiscal Year End:
1st Quarter: Utilise collected water and activate "Squishy" (men) and "Crunchy" (robot) units. Place them on the satellite for drop to the planet! 2nd Quarter: Explore and conquest Mars. Drop your men from your rotating satellite and reveal the hidden terrain -- canyons, mountains, plains, radiation, alien technology, water and ice resources. 3rd Quarter: Resolve conflicts with "Strenuous Negotiations" (combat). Holding Mars real estate brings you water profit! 4th Quarter: If you don't have a man holding the land, you won't get the profit. You can choose to resupply them, let them die, or sacrifice a man by rendering "Squishy" back into their component water to resupply your other troops. (but be careful, because they might object being squished back into water...) Year End: Count your Glorious Profit! Count your yearly Profit and decide how much to send back to earth, and how much to utilise for company growth. Ship the most Profit home to your Earth company to win the monopoly of Mars!
