Historical accuracy. The first computer was designed considerably earlier than WWII, but never built.

AttractMode: A computer versus computer version of the game, with the guns firing randomly and the game's title flashing at the top of the screen. Pretty elaborate by 2600 standards.

{{Cutscene}}: Two soldiers march out from the winning side to "claim" the enemy. Sometimes one of them marches too far and has to run to catch up to his platoon mate.
*EveryBulletIsATracer
EveryBulletIsATracer: The shell is a white dot, which travels slowly across the screen. Can make for some agonizing moments as you watch the enemy shell slowly fall towards your gun.
*GeoEffectsGeoEffects: There are about a dozen terrains, which are chosen randomly at the beginning of each match. The guns then drop on to the terrain, as if by unseen helicopters. The guns may land anywhere from the top of a hill to the bottom of a valley. Hills are usually in the way, sometimes quite close, making it difficult to determine the exact arc to the enemy gun. And then there's the wind, which can change between each shot. But sometimes, the guns are level with each other, with nothing in the way, and the first player to fire almost always wins with a direct-fire shot.
