Game Mechanics
Operation Whirlwind is one wargame which simulates tactical fighting in the urban environment, in the North of France during the Second World War. It only plays against the computer, for which the player can select a level of difficulty among the four proposed.
The game takes place on a map on which the player controls infantry companies, assault tanks, reconnaissance units, engineers and artillery batteries. On the screen is only displayed a section of the battlefield, which the player can scroll. It has more than one card printed in color, included in the box of the game, representing the entire battlefield. The game takes place in turn, each round being divided into several phases. In the first, the command phase, the player can scroll the card, plan the movements of his units and order them to prepare for battle. It can then move to the motion phase where, using the joystick, it moves a cursor to select a unit. At the bottom of the screen is the motion points, the fire power and the range of the unit. Once the unit is selected, the player can give him travel orders. The latter, as well as the combat orders, cost the unit of the activity points, which are limited to each turn. After defining the movements of its units, the player can start the combat phase, in which he can order his units to shoot. Then comes the assault phase that allows the player to order his infantry to attack an adjacent enemy unit (both with a body and not remote as in the combat phase), and his engineers to rebuild a bridge. Once this phase is over, the computer plays its turn. At the end of a game, five levels of victory can be achieved by the player: questionable, marginal, tactical, strategic or indisputable victory.
