About the Game

An early zip-lock bagged sci-fi wargame from Metagaming. It is based upon Poul Anderson's novel The People of the Wind. It simulates the Terran Empire's invasion of the planet Avalon.

It features a separate space combat map and a planetary ground combat map, plus a few rules for interactions between the two.
