Air & Armor: V Corps
A grand tactical simulation of a hypothetical Soviet attack on West Germany in the mid-1980s, covering the Fulda Gap between the Inner German Border and Frankfurt. Players command Soviet and U.S. forces in scenarios including meeting engagements, delaying actions, assaults, counterattacks, and desperate defenses. The system models asymmetric command and control, reconnaissance, combined arms, air and helicopter strikes, artillery, chemical and electronic warfare, and combat engineering. Hidden intelligence creates fog of war, allowing deception, surprise, traps, and ambushes. Twelve scenarios support one to seven players, with strong solitaire play, and games last three to twelve hours.
