• What are binoculars?
• ItsWar  is an online multiplayer team-based game centered around the vietnam war which you can play for free throught your internet browser!
  Fight for your team as a Soldier, Heavy Weapon Specialist, Medic , Engineer, Combat Driver, Pilot, or Rambo.
  Minerun for team money, blow up or steal enemy ehicles, kill enemy footsoldiers, drive tanks, fly helicopters, sabotage enemy base, heal teammates, repairbuildings, and much more.
  As the days pass, more waepons and vehicles become available to upgrade.
• The ultimate goal of the game is to destroy all the enemy's buildings before they destroy yours. This normally takes ~15-25 days, in which countless battles ensue all over the map, as the  teams compete for resources and domination of the map. The maps are drawn by and selected by players and can have up to 4 teams in play (PRS, Pony, OHL, and Dingle).
