NATO simulates a potential NATO/Warsaw Pact conflict in Central Europe during the Cold War years of the 1980’s. First published in 1983, this game was Victory Games best-selling title, purchased by over 75,000 gamers worldwide. This new edition is based on an exhaustive two-year study by the Designer of the records that have come to light since the fall of the Berlin Wall. The game combines highly accurate information on the forces the Warsaw Pact actually had with now de-classified reports from the CIA and the Defense Intelligence Agency regarding what satellite surveillance and HUMINT revealed about their actual plans. The map has also been extensively updated with new satellite geography. Finally, the game system has been reworked to better reflect the fluid, fast paced and deadly nature of modern warfare, while retaining the original intention of simple and intuitive play. Here is the ultimate Cold War game, remastered, and playable in a single sitting.NATO is a division/brigade level simulation of a Warsaw Pact invasion of Western Europe. The game map depicts the area from Denmark to the Swiss Alps, and from France to Poland. The time frame covers the first 14 days of war, after which one side or the other has usually run out of an army. The game offers four different Scenarios, covering 1) a surprise attack from a standing start, 2) an attempt by the WP to quietly prepare without tipping NATO off beforehand, 3) an extended buildup of forces by both sides before war breaks out, and 4) an introductory scenario covering the invasion of Denmark.Each Scenario can be played with an Order of Battle from 1983, when NATO was still relatively weak, or with an Order of Battle from 1988, when NATO had rearmed and reorganized and was at the peak of its strength. The difference is impressive.The game features infantry, armor, airborne and airmobile troops, marines, with easy mechanics to leverage combined arms operations. It also has extensive options for employing air power, chemical weapons and, for the truly desperate player, a last resort to nuclear weapons. The combat system is built around the concept that the best defense is a good offense, and features artillery, tactical and operational air strikes, reserves, counterattacks and deep exploitation, allowing for a rich set of tactical nuances in play. This is not a game where the WP attacks and NATO defends. Both players have to attack relentlessly if they want to defeat their opponent.This Designer Signature edition of the classic Bruce Maxwell game has been upgraded with new units, new scenarios, new terrain, new tables and new player aid cards. Additional enhancements introduced in this edition include:Super-sized components feature 9/16’’ counters and two game maps with larger hexesGame map information has been updated and includes all-new map artworkNew units have been added, unit information has been updated and all units produced with new artworkExisting scenarios have been updated and two new scenarios addedOrders of Battle are provided for all Scenarios both 1983 and 1988, allowing players to see the impact of the Reagan Era rearmament programsThe game system has been redesigned and the new rules include extensive illustrations, examples of play and Designer’s Notes to aid clarityEach rules section now begins with a summary, allowing experienced players to skip many rules sections that embody classic game mechanics they already knowRules details and restriction have been summarized graphically in Player Aids for faster reference and easier playEnhanced ergonomics are provided for Scenario set up and Reinforcement chartsA new set of Designer’s Notes contain a wealth of historical information on what the West discovered after the Warsaw Pact collapsed and most of its members joined NATO.Product Information:Complexity: 7 out of 10Solitaire Suitability: 7 out of 10 (no hidden units)Time Scale: 24 hours per turnMap Scale: 15 miles per hexUnit Scale: regiments, brigades, and divisions, abstract air and naval forcesPlayers: one to four, best with twoPlaying Time: 3-8 hours depending upon scenarioComponents:One Rules BookletOne Play Booklet with Scenarios & Designer’s NotesTwo 22’’ x 34’’ MapsFour Counter Sheets (9/16’’ size playing pieces)One WP Player Charts & Tables CardOne NATO Player Charts & Tables CardOne WP Sequence of Play CardOne NATO Sequence of Play CardOne Warsaw Pact Strategic Surprise Reinforcement Schedule CardOne Warsaw Pact Extended Buildup Reinforcement Schedule CardOne NATO Strategic Surprise Reinforcement Schedule CardOne NATO Extended Buildup Reinforcement Schedule CardTwo 6-Sided DiceOne Game Box and LidPlease review the condition and any condition notes for the exact condition of this item.
