Description
Welcome to Operation Biting, a solitaire World War II wargame. In this game you are in command of a group of British Airborne on a daring raid in enemy-occupied France to steal some new top secret radar. Also known as the Bruneval Raid the radar is defended by an enemy garrison, set against a snow laden cliff top. You must lead your squads, after their parachute drop, across the cliff tops and engage the enemy. On finding the radar you must then take the critical parts before escaping off the cliff tops to the beach below before being rescued by the Royal Navy.

As the player you have very difficult decisions to make - you have several simultaneous objectives with having to contend with the both the German forces you know about and those you do not. Lady luck plays a part, as with any military operation but your decisions and tactics are crucial, especially in how you maximise your squads and hold back the German forces. The game is not static - as you move through the map to your objectives you will be hounded by the German forces for all directions.

Getting the radar parts and getting to the beach and holding at the beach is nerve racking as you await the Navy to make good your escape, all the while being assaulted by the German defences. You must choose to what extent a fighting rear guard should be used at the cost of getting all your squads off the beach.
