      WORLD AT WAR # 77: Winter War

      Winter War is a two-player operational level wargame covering the Soviet invasion of Finland over the Winter of 1939-40. The Soviets initially expected a quick victory. However, the Finns, under the leadership of Carl Gustav Mannerheim, resisted and outmaneuvered the more ponderous Red Army forces. The game system is based on the asymmetrical situation of the campaign. The Soviets have a preponderance of forces. The Finns have superior tactics and the knowledge of the terrain. Both sides must exploit their advantages to be victorious. The game has special rules to represent all these differences, e.g. unit breakdowns, special forces and Finnish ‘motti’ tactics.  Each hex on the map represents circa 21 miles. Each turn of play represents ten days. Ground units represent detachments, battalions, regiments, brigades, divisions and corps. Aircraft units represent the number of sorties to accomplish a mission. Components: 22×34-inch map, 176 die-cut counters, and magazine with rules. $40.00

      MODERN WAR # 53: Objective Kassel 1980’s

      Two-player alternative history wargame intended to investigate the operational parameters that would have been in place during the first four days of fighting in a border area of West Germany — if the Soviet Union decided to try to attack sometime in the early 1980s. It was during that timeframe the Warsaw Pact achieved a possible decisive ‘correlation of forces’ between their militaries and those of the West. This game is the fourth volume of the 7DR (Seven Days to the Rhine) Series. Each single-volume game uses the same system and will be playable alone or mated to other games in the series. Each hexagon on the map represents 2.5 miles (four kilometers) from side to opposite side. The Warsaw Pact regiments, while the units of maneuver on the NATO side are battalions. Air power and electronic warfare counters and rules abstractly represent, the effects of one side or the other gaining temporary superiority within those sub-realms of conflict. Each day consists of one nighttime and two daylight turns. Components: 22×34-inch map, 176 die-cut counters, and magazine with rules. $40.00
