Description
This game is based on the 1987 best-selling novel by Harold Coyle, portraying World War III as seen through the eyes of a U.S. combat team.
Players take the role of Formation Commanders – commanding a Warsaw Pact battalion or NATO company – and are depicted on the tabletop by the commander figure. Formations are made up of Units, which are composed of Teams (a "team" is one vehicle or one infantry base). A points system allows players to construct balanced games.
The rulebook contains stats for U.S. forces (M1 Abrams Armored Combat Team, M113 Mech Combat Team) and Soviet forces (T-72 Tank Battalion, BMP Motor Rifle Battalion).
