	Description Edit \| History

Desert War is an expansion variant to Up Front. Some of the scenarios and nationalities alluded to herein are found only in the latter. Just as Banzai provided a new environment and more nationalities for Up Front players, Desert War provides a new theatre for the skirmishes of existing nationalities as well as intriguing new hand capacities and nationality traits.
