===Attack!===
[[File:Citadel Combat Cards Special Abilities.JPG|thumb|left|300px|The "Special Abilities" in ''Attack!''{{Fn|54}}]]
In June 1989 [[Jervis Johnson]] published rules for '''Attack!''' in [[White Dwarf 114 (UK)]], a "game for Citadel Combat Cards". This simple board game for 2-4 players required, apart from one or two sets of Citadel Combat Cards, a chessboard, plastic bases as used in the ''Talisman'' boardgame and dice. It was only with this game that the "feature symbols" mentioned above came into play (see below).{{Fn|54}}
In the classic 2 player-variant 16 cards are dealt out to each player, the players then proceed to pick one of their cards as the "general", the other 15 are "troopers". All cards are stuck into the bases and set up - 1 card per square - by each player in their respective halves of the chess board with the backs of the cards facing towards the opponent.{{Fn|4}}
