Dunes of Terror is a board game. 2 sides, the Police Special Forces (Blue Team) and the Terrorist Gangster Criminals (Red Team), fight it out to the death.

For many years, peace had reigned in the land. Regrettably, over time, a group of Terrorist Gangster Criminals arose in the land. They committed all manner of crimes including murder, torture, kidnapping and robbery, terrorising the innocent civilians. With a heavy heart, Parliament has voted to approve the use of lethal armed force by the Police Special Forces to eliminate the Terrorist Gangster Criminals.

The object of each team is to kill all characters on the other team. You will have numerous weapons with which to kill the enemy characters. You will earn $10 for each enemy character killed, which can be used to buy more weapons and ammunition.

Currently, all maps are random maps and the starting positions of all characters are random.

In the skirmish screen, you can select:

How many humans are playing for each side.

How many characters each human controls, for each side.

How many computer controlled characters there are, on each side.

The names of each human playing.

Whether the difficulty of the computer controlled characters is easy, medium or hard.

The turns proceed in a round-robin fashion. The characters controlled by human players proceed first, followed by the computer players. At the start of the turn of each human character, a dialog box will display the index of the character e.g. Police Turn 1, as well as the name of the human player. For computer controlled characters, a notification will appear at the top of the screen indicating the index of the computer controlled character.

When it is your turn, the current statistics of the character you are currently controlling will appear, e.g. the health, amount of money, primary weapon, amount of primary ammunition and amount of secondary (pistol) ammunition. A white circle will appear around your character on the map.

When it is your turn, click on the Actions button to display the actions you can perform.

There are essentially 3 main types of actions you can perform every turn:

Move

Attack

Buy

You can perform up to 1 of each of these different actions every turn.
