Air & Armor: Würzburg, Tactical Armored Warfare in Europe – Designer Signature Edition

Picture this: it is the mid-1980s and the Cold War is suddenly not so cold any more. Around the German city of Würzburg, armies clash head-on. In Air & Armor: Würzburg, Tactical Armored Warfare in Europe, Designer Signature Edition you take the role of commander and find out how such a battle could have played out. This is one of the most realistic wargames about modern warfare ever made, and this edition has been lovingly redesigned. Expect new maps, new counters, improved rules and fresh scenarios. The game is full of the real sides of modern combat. You send out scouts, coordinate air strikes, deploy helicopters and artillery, and keep chemical and electronic warfare in mind. Thanks to the hidden information, you never know exactly what your opponent is planning. That creates real tension and leaves room for tricks, surprises and ambushes. Both sides also play by their own rules, because the NATO and Soviet command structures worked very differently. You can choose from twelve scenarios, and each one is a complete game in itself. One time you storm a fortified line, another time you try to break out of an encirclement or cross a big river. Extensive notes help you get started and also give historical background. Would you rather play alone? That works just fine. Because you deal with hidden information even on your own, the tension holds right to the end.
