Now, what is War Games exactly? War Games is a game on Facebook. You are in charge of a country.  Your goal is to build up the amount of Territory your country owns (measured in Sqmiles). You have two ways to do this.  You can buy Producers, which give you a certain amount of coin every day you use War Games, and then use that coin to buy land.  You can also buy Soldiers, and use them to fight your friends, and gain Sqmiles and coin that way.  You buy stuff with Coin.
