Editor note

Actually this game is WAR, published in 101 Basic Games, the only reference that exists with the name "Combat" is in https://m.imdb.com/name/nm4813165/bio/?ref_=nm_ov_bio_sm, but it is the same game, and it is possible that this leads to many duplicate entries, so take that into account.
