Brotherhood & Unity

Three-player card-driven wargame that simulates the 1992–1995 conflict in Bosnia and Herzegovina, portraying Bosniak, Serb and Croat forces plus external actors such as UN and NATO. Players command brigade-scale units on a point-to-point strategic map (including a detailed Sarajevo map), play strategy cards to trigger events or take actions, and conduct movement, attacks, redeployments, diplomacy and reinforcements. Combat resolves quickly without a CRT, modified by unit stats, terrain and dice; supplies and attrition matter. Victory is tracked via Strategic Will points and a Foreign Attitude track that models international reaction (UN safe areas, NATO air strikes). Gameplay emphasizes shifting alliances, asymmetric forces, and card-driven fog of war over a 2–3 hour playtime.
