Description

This is a tactical simulation of the military potential of the Soviet and American armies in the 1970's. The game supposes a hot war between the super-powers in Southern Germany. Ten different scenarios depict delaying, screening, and rear guard actions, tank battles, automobile raids and Soviet assaults. On a tactical scale, the game employs American and West German infantry, tank, reconnaissance and airmobile battalions confronting regiment sized Soviet formations (game counters are platoons, companies, and battalions). The game includes wire-guided anti-tank missiles, rocket launchers, and helicopter gunships.
