TOWER SIEGE: 3D CHESS GAME


INTRODUCTION

The Tower Siege: 3D chess game is a variant of chess called 3D chess. 3D chess has existed sense the early seventeen hundreds. The Tower Siege: 3D chess game presupposes a conflict between two armed forces vying for control of a multi-level structure; a building or a castle. Although the Tower Siege: 3D chess game is a variant of chess it adheres mainly to the basic rules of chess.

THE SCENARIO

Terrorist have taken control of a downtown city office tower, they've taken hostages and have made demands. They threaten to destroy the tower, themselves and the innocent victims within if their demands are not met with promptly.

An elite team of anti-terrorist commandos have been alerted to the situation and are preparing to mobilize when they are informed that the terrorist have just shot down several air crafts, a News chopper, a tourist and police helicopter with shoulder mounted rockets. They threaten to destroy anyone or anything that approach too close to the building. Realizing they will not be able to insert onto or near the tower by helicopter the commandos’ leader decide to embark upon a dangerous and daring plan to execute a H.A.I. (High Altitude Insertion) onto the roof of the office tower.

After successfully and stealthily inserting themselves onto the roof of the office tower the commandos secure the top two floors of the tower, and then they quickly and quietly make their way, floor by floor, down through the tower. Securing any civilians they find.

Midway through the tower the commandos encounter the terrorist.

A fierce gun battle ensues.

The terrorist leader and his team are captured, the weapon of mass destruction is secured, and the hostages are rescued.
