Burma 1942-45

An operational-scale simulation of the Burma campaign from 1942 to 1945, using brigades, butais, and battalions on a map where each hex represents 15 miles. Supply shortages and the monsoon interrupt operations, while rugged terrain and tenuous supply lines make maneuver and logistics central to play. The Japanese can infiltrate Allied lines, while Allied long-range patrols can operate behind Japanese positions. Both sides must attack to make progress, and the Allied player must construct the Burma Road through to China. This edition includes updated graphics, a mounted map, and all published errata.
