+From the HOMEPAGE:
+XBattle is a concurrent multi-player arcade/strategy game that captures
+the dynamics of a wide range of military situations through numerous
+options. The game board is a matrix of game cells which can be occupied
+by troops of various colors, with troop strength indicated by the size of
+colored markers within a cell. Troops are commanded by clicking the mouse
+near the edge of an occupied cell in the direction that movement is to take
+place. XBattle is concurrent, so that commands are given continuously by
+all players without waiting for turns. A command will be acknowledged by
+the appearance of a command vector, and thereafter, in each update cycle,
+a certain proportion of the troops will move from the source cell to the
+destination cell. In this way, troops can be slowly redistributed via
+supply lines which steadily deliver troops to their endpoints. Troops
+of different colors engage in battle whenever they come to occupy the
+same cell. A wide variety of options are available for configuring troop
+movement, distribution, and production.
