So what is the point of the game? Why can soldiers only get four squares above the horizontal line? Or is that a rule? --MarSch 17:10, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, Denni, for the link and clear up. I've done some more clearing up, since it wasn't clear to me that jumping involved jumping over another soldier (until I read the link). Without this insight I also misunderstood the removing of the soldier. Moving would have been pretty pointless with these rules. I know of John Conway, mostly his Conway's Game of Life, but I didn't know about this game or maybe I forgot. --MarSch 11:28, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
