Date published: 7/1/1978
Designed by: James Dunnigan
Developed by: Mark Herman
Data:
Ground, air and naval forces clash from Denmark to Italy as the Warsaw Pact
steamroller tries to smash NATO's central front. A realistic, comprehensive
simulation.
Comments:
This game was revolutionary. The game system has no separate combat phase. Combat is integrated into each unit's movement across the mapboard, and requires the expenditure of movement points to initiate. Commanders decide how far to push a unit, and run the real life risk of overtaxing the troops to the point where they break. At the same time, completely new and extremely lethal modern weapons are in the hands of opposing troops. Time is a factor neither side has in excess. Next War forces players to completely re-think how they play simulations.
