Early predecessor of Stratego. Designed by Mademoiselle Hermance Edan, who filed a patent for a jeu de bataille avec pièces mobiles sur damier (a battle game with mobile pieces on a gameboard) on 26 Nov 1908. The patent was released by the French Patent Office in 1909 (patent #396.795 [6]).

Hermance Edan has marketed her own invention from 1909 to early 1930. In 1909, she appointed her game L Attaque . Also, H. P. Gibson obtained the rights to broadcast L Attaque in English-speaking countries from 1920s. French publisher Au jeu retrouvé produced a version of the game in 1975 by modifying the parts illustrations.

The game is played with 36 pieces each on a 9×10 square board. Each piece has a numeric value, which is hidden from the opponent and only revealed when an attacking piece moves onto a square occupied by an opponent s piece. In most cases, the piece with the highest value wins and the losing piece is removed from the board.

Play continues until one player finds the opponent s flag piece and takes it.

Re-implemented by:

• Stratego
• Sharpe s Attack
