Instructions
Combat Checkers is played under the same rules as regular American checkers.
However, Combat Checkers has a twist in that the checkers are armed and have
special abilities and armor.
To make sure you understand how to play regular American checkers,
here are the rules according to Ainslie's Complete Hoyle, 1975:
'Each player has tweleve [checkers placed on the black squares of a chess
board.] ... By tradition, [the left side (player 1)] moves first.
Pieces move forward diagonally one space at a time to unoccupied black
squares. If the square is occupied by an opposing piece and the square
beyond is unoccupied, a jump and [shot] may be made. [Pieces that lose all
of their life points when jumped] are removed from the board. Multiple
[jumps] sometimes occur at a single turn.
If a piece can [jump] an opponent, it must do so. If multiple [jumps by the
piece are] possible, [they] must be completed. If a player can [jump] with
more than one of his men, (s)he is allowed to choose which [jump] to make
at the particular turn. But a [jumping] move always is made in perference
to a [nonjumping] one.
