How Attacking works:
Example:
You throw the Dice: the results are 6 "Plus" You must move 6 spaces and find a good place to put it so that it could hit an opponents marker.
When it hits an opponents marker. the marker should be flipped to show the black dot, meaning it is stunned. If it gets hit again for the second time it gets removed from the board.
Special Rules:
-When you move a marker to the same place where it has already passed it will be stunned and cannot move automatically.
-You can move your markers over your own stunned markers in order to revive it.

Tips:
Markers could be trapped so be sure to give them adequate spacing.
Do not spread your markers too far from each other.
Do not make your markers too close to each other.
Actually I made this game 6 years ago.. I thought I would share it to this place.
I need to hear what people have to say about it. If you need a quick game just to kill that spare time then this is the best game for you.
This game was made out of necessity by the way.. One time when I was playing a chess game with my sister, it was a long boring afternoon we were young then I said to her after our last match, "let's make a new game" So what we got was this. We had small toys lying around the house, like small soldiers, tanks, etc. (you know... toys for small kids. I have a younger brother) so we collected them all.
There was an old snakes and ladders game with missing pieces luckily there was a die there that has stickers on it's faces so i removed them and put some customs symbols myself with some permanent marker. I grabbed some small toy tanks there was about 8 pieces of it in two different colors. We fought with tanks, when one piece gets hit it's turret is removed (stunned) but when it get revived we call it repaired.
But when my brother got home early from school, he asked what we were playing so we modified the map so that he can join. soon after that the next thing I know is that every time I play chess with my friends what we end up doing is playing is this after we got bored. We just improvise the board and cover the black areas with the unused chess pieces.
