Showdown: The Coming Indo-Pakistani War

This two-player wargame simulates a potential modern conflict between India and Pakistan, with conventional operations that can escalate into tactical nuclear warfare. Players maneuver military formations, allocate support fire from assets such as attack helicopters and self-propelled artillery, and engage enemy positions across multiple levels of combat. Its attritional combat system represents modern warfare through formations that can suffer casualties and reduced effectiveness. Success depends on maneuver, firepower, and careful management of conventional and nuclear assets.
