 injuries of individual  soldiers are traced.

- Offensive and healing magic
- War engines

- 3 D landscapes and a wide variety of fantasy combat figures and scenery

Installing Critical Hit on a Floppy Disk:

You will need a completely empty, formatted disk. Carry out the
following steps:
(1) Re-name the disk "CriticalHit_Disk1"
(2) Un-archive CriticalHit.lha onto this floppy
(3) Locate the FONTS directory on your Workbench disk. Copy the
'helvetica.font' file from the fonts directory on the newly
copied disk into the fonts directory on workbench. Also copy
the 'helvetica' sub-directory from the new disk into the fonts
directory in workbench.
You will be able to run the game from workbench.

Instructions for hard disk installation are in MANUAL.TXT which is in the
archive.

If you only have 1MB of memory and the game crashes, you must 
make the CriticalHit_Disk1 floppy into a bootable disk - see MANUAL.TXT
for instructions.
