These games may often employ tanks, a smoke screen, and scale sized helicopters on the ground.
All of these huge objects sever to facilitate the illusion of a large scale battle. The bunkers and structures of the game are designed to represent objects that would be used in the period that his imaginary battle is simulating. In the event that the big game was made to represent a battle during the medieval period, a structure simulating a castle may be represented. In a battle representing a siege of the Alamo, a structure looking like the real Alamo may be constructed where one team is instructed to protect the Alamo from being overrun.
