	Description Edit \| History

Tactical level wargame of US and Soviet forces meeting somewhere in Western Germany. Counters represent individual squads, fire teams, tanks, leaders, helicopters, etc. Fairly complex game with lots of optional rules. Unusual system of drawing chits to determine who's got to spend action points to perform next action.
