A contact version of crud called combat crud is sometimes played, which allows full body checking and blocking similar to what one finds in ice hockey. This is one of the few situations where junior-grade officers are allowed to knock over generals and not be marched up on charges for it, and is therefore quite popular among the "subbies".

Famous quotes containing the words combat and/or crud:
“In case I conk out, this is provisionally what I have to do: I must clarify obscurities; I must make clearer definite ideas or dissociations. I must find a verbal formula to combat the rise of brutality—the principle of order versus the split atom.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
“Captain, it is I, Ensign Pulver. And I just threw your stinking palm tree overboard. Now what’s all this crud about no movie tonight?”
—Frank S. Nugent (1908–1965)
