About this product
 
Depicting the rivalry between the oldest defenders of the US, 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 military worldwide, this theme chess set brings to your living room in stunning fashion the US military!

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 Marine chess set pieces, with their carriage and uniforms are sight for sore eyes! The front ranks of the chess set are composed of sturdy soldiers holding their favorite weapon to their side and at attention. Seeing such opposition is a sight not to be envied! The backbone of US landing forces, the Marines bring to this chess set their hardiness and discipline from vast experience and battles.

The front ranks of soldiers wear the camoflage green fatigues proudly, and present a varied picture with the official military dress of the officers behind them. The 'knights' of the army, in the form of the tank, or landing craft, are already climbing a terribly steep slope, in action before the battle begins! The bishops flank the 'king' and 'queen', and all together make a fine display of the pride and form of the US Marines; the rooks bear the insignia of the Marines: the seal of the amphibious branch of the US military.

Test your skills with this great theme chess set! Take the side of the Army or Marines 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 great colors!
