LAST MEN STANDING

INTRODUCTION
Solo Card Game. 
This game is a tribute to the genre of Squad Level, Suicide Mission, Ensemble Cast, 
Survival, War Movies such as: Sahara, Saving Private Ryan, The Big Red One, 
The Dirty Dozen, The Desert Rats, The Guns of Navarone, Inglorious Bastards. 

THE FORMULA
Most of these type Movies included several common themes: 
1. A very Dangerous (Commando) Mission. 
2. Lots of casualties. Usually only 2 or 3 Members of the Squad survive. 
3. Characters with different national and racial backgrounds working together. 

DISCLAIMER
The game does not try to perfectly simulate any one Movie but instead, you 
Create your own band of Misfits and lead them to their Glorious ends. 

THEMES NOT USED
Some of these movies have a period where the recruits are trained together, 
Where they learn to work together. This piece is left out. 
Some of these Movies have a very detailed step by step mission plan. This is 
Not simulated, rather the game works as a series of encounters. 


VICTORY
