SMALL WARS: New Perspectives on Wargaming Counter Insurgency on the Tabletop

1-216260

The topic of counter Insurgency is under represented in table top hobby wargames. The relatively few sets of rules in this area have nearly all focused on the tactical level combat. All except one of these sets of rules are written to portray the operational / campaign level situation. Using card based systems, these games are particularly suitable for the solo wargamer. These games are not 'fair.' They each aim to give the wargamer a greater understanding of the particular conflicts they represent.

The games include:
* Boots on the Ground: Company Level Actions in the early 21st Century
* An Isolated Outpost: Six Months in the Sahara
* Eight Years in a Distant Country: Soviet involvement in Afghanistan
* Ovambo: Counter-insurgency in South West Africa
* Good Morning Vietnam: LBJ's War 1965-68
* Flying Column: The Irish Troubles 1920-21
