Game was only released via the Nintendo Power cart writer. It's a bit bare-bones, no story mode.

The pre-game options aren't explained in-game:

• Fog of War

• Domination. If off you can win a battle by capturing 75% of buildings instead of having to wipe them out or capture their HQ.
• Quick Battle. No battle animations.
• Quick Map. No map animations.
