Description

Obcure Battles : Cold War is a Print and Play game from Obscure Battles publishing. It is a hex and counter game with various optional rules and conflict models. A novelty that sets this game apart is the inclusion of an optional Card Driven Mechanism that ensures that one game is never like the other. The Scenario pack 1 introduces 7 "case study" files: each comes with its own setup, map and counters. They are mostly proxy wars fought during the Cold War or other lesser known or explored conflicts like Indo-Pakistani war and a hypothetical campaign about a Soviet amphibious assault on a Turkish coastal town in the Black Sea during the 70s. The Unit Database has over 240 units from all over the world. There is quite a bunch of ready to print counters and maps but you can easily add more using the home printer friendly scenario packs or counter pack.
