About this product
 
Depicting the rivalry between a couple of the greatest branches of the US military, this theme chess set displays in great fashion the rich traditions of the American armed forces! The chess set even sports actual uniforms and seals of the current military forces! Originating less than 350 years ago, the American forces have quickly climbed their way to the top of the elite military around the globe. As a tribute to the men and women in the different branches of the military, and the militaries worldwide, this theme chess set brings the US military to your living room in stunning fashion!

The Army chessmen pieces, in their stances and uniforms, are a tough sight to beat! With the front ranks of the chess set composed of combat ready soldiers carrying their favorite weapon and at attention, having them in opposition could be enough to make the enemy faint! Or in this case, the enemy chess set king waver and tip over ingloriously.

That being the goal of the Army, yet without such an easy victory anticipated, they are prepared to work hard for it, providing back-up to the infantry. The 'knights' of the army, in the form of artillery, are posted and waiting to attack from afar and cause lighting quick disaster in the ranks of the opposition. The bishops, crisp looking officers with red berets, await orders to set the troops on the move and flank the 'king' and 'queen'. The king and queen of this chess set of pieces, the commanding officer with his trademark hat, and the lady at his side, proudly represent the best of the Army. The rooks bear the insignia of the Army; the seal of the land branch of the US military.

The Air Force chessmen of this themed chess set, with royal and light blue uniforms and the 'air' of men from the air, do the Air Force justice in their representation! The 'pawns' as airmen in dress uniform, stand stiff and straight as arrows, and with some smart flying, and maybe a few missiles or so, the Air Force should be able to paratroop some men in and evacuate with the captured king from the other chess set of pieces!

Wearing the dress light and dark blues, the airmen appear well fitted and ready for any challenge, whether it is the fixing of an aircraft, or the winning of a theme chess set game... in addition, the pawns of the chess set all have a disciplined refreshing look about them! From the tip of the cap, to the end of the shoes, not a thread is out of place for the inspection of their commanding officer!

Sneaking a peak at the rooks shows that they carry the seal of the Air Force. Next to the rooks, and the 'Mayday' weapon for the opponent, is the ICBM! The InterContinental Ballistic Missile, the weapon designed to be able to carry nuclear warloads thousands of miles in a matter of minutes, makes it's fearsome appearance; if it was a matter of weapons only, the Air Force has everyone beat hands down in this chess set! The bishops represent the real airmen, in their 'space suits', ready for flying any aircraft, to any speed, to defeat all opposition in defense of the freedom of the Great Republic. And lastly, the commanding officer, looking very much like he fits his station, with the lady naval officer at his side, prepares to guide his men through all obstacles for the objective: can he successfully capture the king?

Test your skills with this great theme chess set! Take the side of the Army or Air Force, and see if you can end the rivalry and prove once and for all who is actually better! Every game will be fun and refreshing with crisp pieces and the great colors of this chess set!
