Thanks for using, Daniel
Help: choose kind of block
simple Block : A simple block means that you only block one camp. If you don’t have much experience with calculate blocks, you should begin with simple blocks. It's important, that the general only would catch from the block camp and not from another camp.
Go on with Input Window
double- block : If you want to calculate a double- block, you should already have some experience with simple blocks.
At a double block, you're blocking 2 camps.
That means your general would catch from two camps on the way to the leader camp. Now, you're going to block both camps, so the fighting general can go to the leader camp without any problems.
If you choose "double-block" this window is opening: Window "double block"
Now, we know if we want to make a simple or double block. Now, we only have to choose in the drop-down-list.
Tip: You can also write a s for simple block or a d for double-block.
