Middle East Combat
A strategic wargame that simulates a regional struggle for oil and influence among Iraq, the USSR, Iran, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia using basic Axis & Allies mechanics. Players mobilize units, capture oil areas and capitals, and manage neutral nations, civil insurrections, and modern weapon technologies as described in the rulebook and unit placement cards. Teams form a Red Pact (USSR and Iraq) versus a Triad (Iran, Turkey, and Saudi-Egypt). Victory is achieved by holding ten oil areas, capturing all enemy capitals, or controlling three neutral or enemy capitals.
