Brezhnev's War: The Warsaw Pact vs NATO in German, 1980

Brezhnev's War: NATO vs. the Warsaw Pact in Germany, 1980 allows two players to game the first month of a hypothesized communist invasion of Western Europe sometime between the fall of Saigon and the start of the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan. It was during that period the conventional "correlation of forces" between the two hostile alliances most favoured the communists. The system can also be easily 'fudged' for solitaire play.The scenario is the one most feared by NATO's analysts at the time. That is, they knew the Soviets understood any use of nukes or chemicals would bring retaliation by the West. That would end the war as quickly as it began - most likely along with all of civilization - with no winner.What was therefore actually feared was the Soviet units in East Germany would suddenly lunge into West Germany. It would've been a "come as you are" war, with the aim of blitzing to the Rhine - using only conventional weapons - in under a month.The Soviets would then call for a ceasefire and negotiations before any nuclear or chemical weapons had been deployed. With that, West Germany - the lynchpin of NATO in Europe - would've been neutralized and its Ruhr industrial area wrecked. That would've caused a shift in the balance of power in favour of the Kremlin, setting the up to deliver the knockout blow later.The turn sequence uses the classic fight-move or move-fight structure. Special rules account for heliborne units, Spetsnaz, the ultra-elite Soviet Eight Guards and Guards Airborne Armies, East German and Czechoslovakian disloyalty, ranged Soviet artillery divisions, air power, supply, the criticality of Frankfurt for US operations, paradrops, German territorials, electronic warfare and variable Soviet victory objectives.

The African Campaign: Designer Signature Edition

The African Campaign, Designer Signature Edition, marks the return of a true wargaming classic by John Edwards, re-mastered and updated with this all-new edition. Celebrated by many as "Afrika Korps done right," this two-player game allows players to explore the key elements of the Desert War, beginning in December 1940 with Wavell's first offensive, Operation Compass, against the Italian forces of Marshal Graziani, and culminating in December 1942 when the Americans landed in Rommel's rear, thus sealing the ultimate fate of the Afrika Korps.The African Campaign re-creates the ebb and flow of battle and rapid swinging action in the desert as the pendulum swings with both sides launching major offensives during the North African Campaign. Game play is swift thanks to the low counter density while capturing the key facets of the campaign including supply, ports, replacements, Axis fuel, strategic movement, air power, Flak units, minefields and more.This Designer Signature Edition provides an updated treatment to the Jedko 2nd Edition release and includes known errata along with new optional rules and variants as published in Panzerfaust/Campaign #74 (July-Aug 1976). This edition serves as the ultimate treatment in paying homage to the original classic design by John Edwards. While the standard game remains true to the original, we've added bonus material to explore other facets of the War in the Desert without sacrificing game playability. For your gaming enjoyment, this game has been super-sized by featuring a larger playing surface (17"x 50.75" map size) and larger 5/8" counters to deliver an optimal play experience that can be completed in a single sitting, to be enjoyed by both grognards and newcomers alike.Components:One and one-half MapsOne Counter-sheet (176 counters)Two Player Aid CardsTwo Order of Battle Appearance CardsOne Rules Booklet
