The Third World War: Designer Signature Edition

Product detailed description

The Third World War, Designer Signature Edition, presents one of the greatest and most ambitious gaming endeavors, which includes not one, but FOUR real war classics by Frank Chadwick, faithfully remastered and updated in this completely new, luxury edition. The Third World War, often referred to as one of the best and most played gaming series covering the NATO and Warsaw Pact era, brings all four games of the series in one comprehensive package for everyone to enjoy.

This edition of the Third World War includes many new enhancements and larger counters and is another installment of Classic Reborn! by Compass.

It features the complete Third World War gaming series, consisting of the following four games:

The Third World War (subtitled Battle for Germany) is a game about the NATO and Warsaw Pact forces fighting in Central Europe.

Southern Front: In this game, Bulgaria and Romania, reinforced by three Soviet armies and special forces units, clash with Greece, Turkey, and Yugoslavia, weakly reinforced by a few elite units from the USA, France, and Italy.

Arctic Front: The Battle for Norway includes the Soviet Leningrad Front with special airborne, amphibious, and arctic contingents, attacking Norway, reinforced by elite units from the USA, Britain, Canada, and other NATO countries.

Persian Gulf: Persian Gulf: Battle for the Middle East features a special "game within a game" that deals with the diplomatic, political, and military maneuvers of the Soviet Union and the United States in the Middle East before the outbreak of the Third World War - leading to its general outbreak.

For those with strong hearts, combined game rules covering the entire Third World War are available, combining all four games in the series for a truly unforgettable gaming experience.

This Designer Signature Edition pays tribute to Frank Chadwick's classic gaming series by honoring the original game system and leaving it fully untouched (no design changes have been made), while introducing many enhancements for gameplay purposes. The project team involved has hundreds of hours of combined experience with all games in the series and has evaluated all aspects of game design with a focus on increasing playability and improving player aids and markers.
