Compass Games: Air & Armor Wurzburg

Description: Hofheim, 15:00. Commander: “Oh thank God, help has arrived!” Gunner: “Those aren’t ours….”Air & Armor: Würzburg, Operational Armored Warfare in Europe, Designer Signature Edition marks the return of one of the most highly rated wargames on modern warfare ever published. Air & Armor is a company-level simulation of a Hypothetical Soviet attack on West Germany in the mid-1980s. It depicts the collision of the Soviet 8th Guards Army and elements of the U.S. 3rd Infantry Division and West German 12th Panzer Division in a ferocious battle around the German city of Wurzburg. This new edition is lovingly recreated with new map artwork, new unit counters, new unit values and updated rules.Air & Armor employs a highly interactive game system with asymmetric rules modeling the different Command & control techniques of each alliance. The game simulates all of the major aspects of modern warfare: reconnaissance, combined arms operations, air, helicopter and artillery strikes, chemical and electronic warfare and engineering. Multiple levels of hidden intelligence produce a true “fog of war” and provide plenty of opportunities for deception, surprise and ambush. Play this game to find out what it really might have been like to command a division in battle.Based on detailed research from Warsaw Pact archives now available, this new edition includes a completely revised Order of Battle featuring one East German and four Soviet Divisions. Air & Armor includes a Basic Game, covering standard armor operations, and an Advanced Game that layers in air and engineering operations and Chemical and electronic warfare. Each game level includes four to six Scenarios, which are complete games in themselves. Extensive Scenario, Player and Designer Notes provide advice on play and historical detail.A quick note about the Rules booklet:Why is the rules booklet larger in the Compass version than the original West End Games version?– The average word count in Würzburg is around 900 words per page, compared to 1500 words per page in the original Air & Armor.– Non-rules information (i.e. illustrations or examples of play) takes nearly 50% of all pages in the new edition.The rules text in Würzburg is approximately 40 pages, as opposed to 148 pages, when following the same format as the original rules booklet. This is not a significant difference compared to the original rules.Product Information:Complexity: MediumTime Scale: 1 Turn = 2 HoursMap Scale: 1 Mile/hexUnit Scale: Companies and BattalionsPlayers: 2-7 playersSolitaire Suitability: MediumPlaying Time: 3 to 8 hours based on ScenarioComponents:Two 22″ x 34″ MapsFive Countersheets (9/16″ size playiing pieces)Two Player Charts & Tables BookletsFive TO&E DisplaysBasic Game Rules BookletAdvanced Game Rules BookletTwo 10-Sided Dice
