Computer Conflict is a 1980 compilation of two turn-based computer wargame scenarios by Strategic Simulations for the Apple II. The scenarios are imaginary and deal with the defense of Russia during the Cold War.

Gameplay

The game includes two scenarios – Rebel Force designed by Roger Keating and Red Attack designed by Jim Yarborough.

  • Rebel Force: A single-player “company level simulation of a battle between a modern combined arms force and a well equipped rebel force”. It was originally published as Conflict (1979) in Australia by Keating.
  • Red Attack!: “A two-player company level game which simulates an attack by a mixed Soviet tank and infantry force against a defending infantry force” where a player wins “by occupying two of the three towns on the mapboard”. The battlefield is randomized – both players must agree on a fair one before the scenario begins.
