Cannon

Cannon is a modern capturing game in the same general group as Chess.  Each player has a phalanx of soldiers, and attempts to capture the opponent's town piece.  Soldiers generally only move forward, but can retreat if threatened.  The defining feature of the game is that a line of three soldiers forms a cannon which can capture at a distance.  Those are the headlines, read the complete rules here.

Cannon is a very tactical game.

Robots:  Barely adequate.

The back story:  Cannon was only on my "possibly" list for a long time, until David Wincher got worried about the support level at SuperDuperGames, and convinced me to put cannon on a faster track.
