You command the armies of Iraq, Iran, Egypt,Turkey, or the Soviet Union in this gritty, fast-moving Axis & Allies variant. Capture your enemy's capitols or oil resources to win. Random political events and modern weapon technologies add to the challenge. Played with basic A&A pieces and rules on a full-color Mediterranean-Persian Gulf map board. Must be familiar with A&A; new rules fully explained. GM Erik Olsrud.
