This is quite an unusual gamebook format; it uses bookmarks to represent armies while a programmed book represents geographical regions and the links between them. By placing bookmarks in different parts of the book and then moving them from page to page over time, players can simulate a conflict. A number of titles were announced using this game system, but only one (plus a free downloadable demo) was actually released.
