Author's description:

Deadline is a single player battling and adventure game.  You play against the clock as well; as you must achieve victory within an hour.  There is no development.  

You fight against two British held castles on opposing sides of the Dordogne river.  Eliminate the castle at Castlegard and capture Oliver (the Brits leader) at LaRoque.

Simple concept, but I assure you it's challenging. The first battle, Castlegard, is easy; then you deal with a group of very troublsome Monks and archers while you work your way through the triggers that allow the completion of the scenario.  The finale, depending on what the computer does with developing the LaRoque fortress and how long it takes you to get there, varies from "touch and go" to hopelessly impossible.  This scenario is quite difficult but it has been beaten.

Deadline contains about 30 triggers which govern messages, sound, other triggers, creation or removal of units etc.; they lead you through the game and add a bit of humor.
