First installment in Moments in History's \"T3\" series, which has subsequently become the \"Schwerpunkt\" series for GMT Games. Hallmarks of the system are ease of play and the \"fog of war\" element.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContrary to the playing time above this game takes about 6 hours to play unless their is an earlier sudden death decision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeatures C3I points used to generate the number of units that can be activated to move and the number of attacks that can be made during each segment. There are three segments per turn in which each player must begin by deciding whether they will move and then attack or attack and then move. Not only is combat strength compared but also a unit's tactical rating when resolving combats. The side with the higher tactical rating gets to draw more random chits most of which have beneficial drms for that side. To a limited extent combat losses can be converted into retreats and enemy retreats can occasionally result in an additional advance for the attacker. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll in all it is a tense game. The Russian player with the benefit of hindsight can avoid many of the hazards of the original campaign by not over extending himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis item is in \u003cb\u003eFair \u003c\/b\u003econdition.
