Microgame #4 in the Metagaming Microgames series , Warpwar is a fast playing mini-game of interstellar maneuver and combat. You select the tactics and weapon power settings. No chance is involved in the diceless combat system. You must out-think your opponent.
You design your own spaceships with beams, screens, missile tubes and power drive. Ships move through space or jump along the warp lines connecting stars. To win, you must capture the enemy star bases. Advanced rules introduce system ships and technological advancement, which gives newer ships an advantage. Includes an introductory level for two players age 12 and up. Includes rules, map and counters.

WarpWar CRT in Nomograph form
This file presents the WarpWar CRT as a nomograph. It is perhaps both more and less useful than the original CRT for different reasons.
It is inspired by Winchell Chung's nomography work at his website, Project Rho ( http://www.projectrho.com/nomostub.html ) -- and it seemed fitting, since he was the main artist for WarpWar, that WarpWar should have a CRT in nomograph form.
